Two vulnerabilities were discovered in libupnp, a portable SDK for
UPnP devices.

  • CVE-2016-6255

    write to the filesystem of the host running a libupnp-based server
    application.
  • CVE-2016-8863
    Scott Tenaglia discovered a heap buffer overflow vulnerability, that
    can lead to denial of service or remote code execution.
