Description
When NAT-PMP is improperly implemented or configured and it responds to queries from IP addresses not behind NAT, it possible for remote attackers to manipulate the firewall and NAT rules of the affected device to possibly:
- Intercept network traffic destined to the internal or external interface of the NAT device.
- Cause a DoS against the network stack NAT device and subsequently the NAT clients behind it.
Solution(s)
- nat-pmp-disable
