> The SlackBuild for libupnp hasn't been updated for more than five years, 
> omitting several security fixes and leaving the resulting package 
> vulnerable to CVE-2016-6255:
> 
>   »Portable UPnP SDK (aka libupnp) before 1.6.21 allows remote attackers
>   to write to arbitrary files in the webroot via a POST request without a
>   registered handler.«
> 
> This build should propably get an upgrade (and a new maintainer).
