CVE-2013-0229 is a denial of service vulnerability in MiniUPnP MiniUPnPd before version 1.4, specifically in the ProcessSSDPRequest function in minissdp.c. The flaw is a buffer over-read triggered by a crafted SSDP request, which can cause the service to crash. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable and affects a wide range of devices that use MiniUPnP for UPnP functionality.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/dos/upnp/miniupnpd_dos.rb) designed to exploit a denial of service vulnerability (CVE-2013-0229) in MiniUPnPd version 1.0. The module sends a specially crafted UDP M-SEARCH request to the target's UPnP service on port 1900, using the standard SSDP multicast address (239.255.255.250). The exploit attempts to crash or render the MiniUPnPd service unresponsive by sending malformed packets padded to 1500 bytes, potentially causing a stack overflow or resource exhaustion. The module includes logic to check if the service is up before and after the attack, and allows the user to specify the number of DoS attempts. The code is written in Ruby and is intended to be run within the Metasploit framework. No other files or endpoints are present in the repository.
