Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in the unique_service_name()
function of libupnp's SSDP processor. The libupnp library is used across
thousands of devices and is referred to as the Intel SDK for UPnP
Devices or the Portable SDK for UPnP Devices.

Due to size limitations on many devices, this exploit uses a separate TCP
listener to stage the real payload.
