DLA 2238-1: libupnp security update



Package : libupnp
Version : 1.6.19+git20141001-1+deb8u2
CVE ID : CVE-2020-13848
Debian Bug : 962282

libupnp, the portable SDK for UPnP Devices allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSDP message due to a
NULL pointer dereference in the functions FindServiceControlURLPath
and FindServiceEventURLPath in genlib/service_table/service_table.c.
This crash can be triggered by sending a malformed SUBSCRIBE or
UNSUBSCRIBE using any of the attached files.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
1.6.19+git20141001-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libupnp packages.
