Subject: [bitcoin-dev] ALERT: Vulnerability in UPnP library used by Bitcoin Core
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2015 19:17:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151012171749.GA25415@amethyst.visucore.com> (raw)

TL;DR disable UPnP in Bitcoin Core as soon as possible, if you still have it enabled.

Upgrading to 0.11.1rc2 or 0.10.3rc2 will also solve the issue, as they bundle a newer libupnpc (as well as disable upnp usage by default.) However these versions are still in the release candidate cycle, there is some risk in using test versions.

See https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2015-10-12-upnp-vulnerability for details
