Upstream changelog for libupnp (/usr/share/doc/libupnp6/changelog.gz) lists
many fixes for buffer overflows in version 1.6.16. Should this be added to
tracker and check if CVE number is allocated?

It seems that the list of issues is fairly long.  Have you got a list
of source code commits?

Unfortunately, no. I only noticed this from the changelog.
Maybe maintainer and/or upstream can tell if this can be exploited.

Those issues were found by Coverity (http://www.coverity.com). Coverity affects CWE identifiers like CWE-170 but I 
haven't kept the CWE identifiers of all the fixed bugs.

Did you Fabrice verify if these had security impact? I can try to help if needed.
