Are there any information regarding the libupnp vulnerability and DD-WRT? Which revisions are safe to use with uPNP which not?

I'm also curious as to whether this is being fixed. I'd like to hear from BrainSlayer.

Have you checked if there is a need for something to be fixed?
There is a link to an online scanner in the url in the post by alexschomb.
Brainslayer has more important things to do than ease the worries of users who hasn't proved that there is something to worry about..

there is a couple of posts in the broadcom forum where members have tested..

seems dd-wrt does NOT have the vulnerability.

I don't use upnp anyway.. never have, never will..

Considering I don't write the code I can't tell you. But what I will is that when the Department of Homeland Security says to disable it on almost all routers, it's important, and there seems to be no information that comes from any DD-WRT staff in an easily accessible area.

Thanks ill check it out.

dd-wrt does not use libpnp and since we personally think that upnp is insecure by design its also disabled by default. its also not reachable from wan side. so if there is any flaw, it can only be used from the lan side itself. but so far we dont know any known issue with out variant of upnp

I looked at the dd-wrt source from svn and the upnp implementation looks like it's done by broadcom. Which is an issue as claimed here: http://blog.defensecode.com/2013/02/defensecode-security-advisory-cisco.html

DD-WRT is mentioned twice.
