Critical Heap Buffer Overflow in SSDP Control Point: How Unbounded String Operations Put Networks at Risk

A critical heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered and patched in the SSDP control point implementation (`ssdp_ctrlpt.c`), where multiple unbounded `strcpy` and `strcat` operations constructed HTTP request buffers without any length validation. Network-received SSDP response fields — including service type strings and location URLs — could be crafted by an attacker to exceed buffer boundaries, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution or denial of service. The fix replaces the unsa
