CVE-2012-5959

This repository contains a functional proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2012-5959, a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in libupnp 1.6.13. The exploit sends a malformed SSDP M-SEARCH request with an overly long UUID field to trigger a crash in the target service.

This Metasploit module exploits a buffer overflow in the `unique_service_name()` function of libupnp's SSDP processor, allowing remote code execution on vulnerable devices. It stages the payload over a secondary TCP connection due to size limitations.
