Integer signedness error in the ExecuteSoapAction function in the SOAPAction handler in the HTTP service in MiniUPnP MiniUPnPd 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect memory copy) via a SOAPAction header that lacks a " (double quote) character, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-0230.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2013-1462 is a denial-of-service flaw in MiniUPnP MiniUPnPd 1.0. A remote attacker could crash or disrupt the HTTP SOAPAction handler using a malformed SOAPAction header. The public data does not provide CVSS, CWE, affected CPEs, or a confirmed fix.

Executive priority

Treat this as an exposure-management issue unless MiniUPnPd 1.0 is internet-facing or supports critical operations. Prioritize discovery and reachability reduction first, because public data does not confirm severity scoring, exploitation, or a patch path.

Technical view

The issue is an integer signedness error in ExecuteSoapAction within the SOAPAction handler of the MiniUPnPd HTTP service. The described trigger is a SOAPAction header missing a double quote, causing an incorrect memory copy and denial of service. It is explicitly separate from CVE-2013-0230.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where MiniUPnPd 1.0 is deployed and its UPnP HTTP service is reachable. The source bundle does not provide CPEs, vendor metadata, product packaging details, or downstream affected device lists.

Exploitation context

The CVE describes remote denial of service, but the bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. Rapid7 references indicate public research coverage from 2013, so defenders should assume technical details may be publicly known.

Researcher notes

Evidence is limited to the CVE description and Rapid7 reference URLs in the source bundle. The affected list is sparse, so validation should focus on actual MiniUPnPd version detection and service exposure rather than relying on CPE matching.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory systems and devices running MiniUPnPd 1.0.
  • Check MiniUPnP or device-vendor guidance for fixed builds or configuration changes.
  • Restrict UPnP HTTP service reachability to trusted networks where feasible.
  • Disable UPnP where it is not required for business operations.
  • Monitor affected devices for crashes, restarts, or unexplained UPnP service failures.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm whether MiniUPnPd 1.0 is present in firmware or software inventories.
  • Identify network paths that can reach the UPnP HTTP service.
  • Review logs and uptime telemetry for repeated service failures.
  • Verify vendor advisories before declaring a system remediated.
  • Track CVE-2013-1462 separately from CVE-2013-0230.
