NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream miniupnpd package and not the miniupnpd package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

miniupnpd contains an integer underflow vulnerability in SOAPAction header parsing that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or information disclosure by sending a malformed SOAPAction header with a single quote. Attackers can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read by exploiting improper length validation in ParseHttpHeaders(), where the parsed length underflows to a large unsigned value when passed to memchr(), causing the process to scan memory far beyond the allocated HTTP request buffer.
