ReadyMedia (aka MiniDLNA) before versions 1.3.0 allows remote code execution. Sending a malicious UPnP HTTP request to the miniDLNA service using HTTP chunked encoding can lead to a signedness bug resulting in a buffer overflow in calls to memcpy/memmove.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - The Open Connectivity Foundation UPnP specification before 2020-04-17 does not forbid the acceptance of a
    subscription request with a delivery URL on a different network segment than the fully qualified event-
    subscription URL, aka the CallStranger issue. (CVE-2020-12695)

  - ReadyMedia (aka MiniDLNA) before versions 1.3.0 allows remote code execution. Sending a malicious UPnP
    HTTP request to the miniDLNA service using HTTP chunked encoding can lead to a signedness bug resulting in
    a buffer overflow in calls to memcpy/memmove. (CVE-2020-28926)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4722-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ReadyMedia (MiniDLNA) allowed subscription requests with a delivery URL on a     different network segment than the fully qualified event- subscription URL. An attacker could use this to     hijack smart devices and cause denial of service attacks. (CVE-2020-12695)

    It was discovered that ReadyMedia (MiniDLNA) allowed remote code execution. A remote attacker could send a     malicious UPnP HTTP request to the service using HTTP chunked encoding and cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2020-28926)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It was discovered that missing input validation in minidlna, a lightweight DLNA/UPnP-AV server could result in the execution of arbitrary code. In addition minidlna was susceptible to the 'CallStranger' UPnP vulnerability.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.6+dfsg-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your minidlna packages.

For the detailed security status of minidlna please refer to its security tracker page at:

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
