Affected Devices

 

EdgeRouters 2.0.9-hotfix.6 and earlier

 

AirCube firmware version 2.8.8 and earlier

 

Worth noting this could become a wider issue “It is likely that other products relying either directly on upstream MiniUPnPd, or on router distribution such as OpenWrt, VyOS or DD-WRT still ship today with vulnerable MiniUPnPd,” SSD Secure Disclosure notes.

Also worth noting that this is only an issue if you have "UPnP-enabled".

Also note these days you don't really need UPnP for anything. Back in the days it was useful for gaming etc but these days things are designed to expect CG-NAT.

 

So, unless you have a specific need it is better to disable UPnP :)
