NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libupnp package and not the libupnp package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the create_url_list function in gena/gena_device.c in Portable UPnP SDK (aka libupnp) before 1.6.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a valid URI followed by an invalid one in the CALLBACK header of an SUBSCRIBE request.
