High-Profile Mobile Apps At Risk Due to Three-Year-Old Vulnerability

A total of 6.1 million devices ? smart phones, routers, smart TVs ? are currently at risk to remote code execution attacks due to vulnerabilities that have been fixed since 2012.

The vulnerability exists in the Portable SDK for UPnP? Devices, also called libupnp. This particular library is used to implement media playback (DLNA) or NAT traversal (UPnP IGD). Apps on a smartphone can use these features to play media files or connect to other devices within a user's home network.
