CVE-2026-5720

CRITICAL CVSS: 9.1 Published: 2026-04-17 Modified: 2026-06-29

Description

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.

Affected Platforms

Miniupnp Project Miniupnpd

Weakness Type

CWE-125, CWE-191
