UPnP is deliberately designed to _unbeknownst to the (likely) affected user_ lower the security of _other_ security measures that were presumably deliberately put in place to _increase_ said user's security. Sure it's "convenient", but security-wise it is an entirely different kettle of fish from Email as it deliberately lowers the security of _other_ supposed security measures...
While there is no protocol that can do this securely right now, 10 years from now (and 1,000 worms later) UPNP might be pretty secure. Who knows, it may even be worth the pain. -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
