miniupnpc vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 15.04
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
An application using the MiniUPnP library could be made to crash or
run programs as your login if it received specially crafted network
traffic.
Software Description:
– miniupnpc: UPnP IGD client lightweight library
Details:
Aleksandar Nikolic discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the
XML parser functionality of the MiniUPnP library. A remote attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (application crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user running
an application that uses the MiniUPnP library.

the MiniUPnP library to make all the necessary changes.
