SWEET!

[the_bertrum]

Excited.

Looking forward to 6.6.0! May thanks for incorprating that fix in upmpdcli ver 1.4.12 Tim.

I've just become aware of what seems to be a pretty nasty upnp vulnerability (CVE-2020-12695, aka 'CallStranger') which Jean-Francois has addressed in the latest versions of libnpupnp and libupnpp (4.0.7 and 0.19.2). I'm not sure if you've already picked up on this - apologises if this means yet more work

[Tim Curtis]

Post a link to the issue and I'll have a look.

[TheOldPresbyope]

UpnP is a dumpster fire from a security standpoint. This vulnerability is in the protocol itself so every implementation is suspect. Router firewalls remain our best line of defense.

Kent

[Tim Curtis]

moOde itself is not a secure system and should never have a direct connection to the Public Internet. Thats just inviting trouble :-0

OTOH if a link explaining a security vulnerability is posted I'll check it out.

[TheOldPresbyope]

Agreed. I just wanted folks to know Jean-Francois didn't somehow create this problem.

My biggest concern is my grandkids' Xboxes and other gaming consoles running on the same LANs as their parents' laptops used for work-from-home, banking apps, etc. I'm a little suspect too of our Verizon FiOS settop box and its communication through the Verizon FiOS modem/router.

Kent
