  Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-054: Invalid Universal Plug and Play Request can Disrupt System Operation
Time: 05:05 EST/10:05 GMT | News Source: Microsoft TechNet Security | Posted By: Matthew Sabean

The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) service allows computers to discover and use network-based devices. Windows ME and XP include native UPnP services; Windows 98 and 98SE do not include a native UPnP service, but one can be installed via the Internet Connection Sharing client that ships with Windows XP.
A vulnerability results because the UPnP service does not correctly handle certain types of invalid UPnP requests. On Windows 98, 98SE, and ME systems, receiving such a request could cause a variety of effects ranging from slow performance to system failure. On Windows XP, the effect is less serious as the flaw consists of a memory leak. Each time a Windows XP system received such a request, a small amount of system memory would become unavailable; if repeated many times, it could deplete system resources to the point where performance slowed or stopped altogether.
