Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp) < 1.6.18 Multiple Stack-based Buffer Overflows RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 64394

Language:

Synopsis

A network service running on the remote host is affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp) running on the remote host is prior to 1.6.18. It is, therefore, affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities :

- A stack-based buffer overflow condition exists in the unique_service_name() function within file ssdp/ssdp_server.c when handling Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) requests that is triggered while copying the DeviceType URN. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted SSDP request, to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2012-5958)

- A stack-based buffer overflow condition exists in the unique_service_name() function within file ssdp/ssdp_server.c when handling Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) requests that is triggered while copying the UDN prior to two colons. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted SSDP request, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5959)

- A stack-based buffer overflow condition exists in the unique_service_name() function within file ssdp/ssdp_server.c when handling Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) requests that is triggered while copying the UDN prior to the '::upnp:rootdevice' string. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted SSDP request, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5960)

- Multiple stack-based buffer overflow conditions exist in the unique_service_name() function within file ssdp/ssdp_server.c due to improper validation of the UDN, DeviceType, and ServiceType fields when parsing Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues, via a specially crafted SSDP request, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5961, CVE-2012-5962, CVE-2012-5963, CVE-2012-5964, CVE-2012-5965)

Solution

Upgrade to libupnp version 1.6.18 or later. If libupnp is used as a third party library by a different application, contact the vendor of that application for a fix.
