34 ----------------------------
36 Bundled miniupnpc was updated to 2.0.20170509. This fixes an integer signedness error
37 (present in MiniUPnPc v1.4.20101221 through v2.0) that allows remote attackers

41 This only affects users that have explicitly enabled UPnP through the GUI
42 setting or through the `-upnp` option, as since the last UPnP vulnerability

53 smart fee slider. It will only present an approximate fee calculated using the
54 default target. The fee calculated using the correct target is still applied to
55 the transaction and shown in the final send confirmation dialog.
