UPnP attack

Hi, guys,
I just got this from a Tech Republic newsletter:
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/tech-news/?p=1902

Basically it notes a form of attack using port forwarding by use of
Flash and Javacode. However, probably other scripting languages could
be used. It is not OS or browser dependent, but rather depends on the
standard protocols of UPnP and and the Flash plug-in programing
capability.

Thought you might be interested.

Regards,
Les H
