UPNP Memory Exhaustion DOS Exploit
This exploit causes services.exe to consume memory to a point where the target machines virtual memory gets exhausted, leading to a sustained DOS attack. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted request to upnp_getdevicelist. The exploit fails if the operation number in the DCERPC request is changed to something else other than 0xa (upnp_getdevicelist).
Mitigation:
Install the latest hotfixes for UPNP.
