The upnp_event_prepare function in upnpevents.c in MiniUPnP MiniUPnPd through 2.1 allows a remote attacker to leak information from the heap due to improper validation of an snprintf return value.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The upnp_event_prepare function in upnpevents.c in MiniUPnP MiniUPnPd through 2.1 allows a remote attacker     to leak information from the heap due to improper validation of an snprintf return value. (CVE-2019-12107)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4542-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that MiniUPnPd did not properly validate callback addresses. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2019-12107)

    It was discovered that MiniUPnPd incorrectly handled unpopulated user XML input. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause MiniUPnPd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-12108,     CVE-2019-12109)

    It was discovered that MiniUPnPd incorrectly handled an empty description when port mapping. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause MiniUPnPd to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2019-12110)

    It was discovered that MiniUPnPd did not properly parse certain PCP requests. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause MiniUPnPd to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-12111)

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Ben Barnea and colleagues from VDOO discovered several vulnerabilities in miniupnpd, a small daemon that provides UPnP Internet Gateway Device and Port Mapping Protocol services. The issues are basically information leak, NULL pointer dereferences and uses after free.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.20140523-4+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your miniupnpd packages.
