[SOLVED] Repeated Security Risk Messages in Logs

Post by leejk »

Hello,

I've been trying to find a solution for this for a while now, but have come up empty handed. I am running Myth 0.27.4 on Yosemite. Functionally everything is good, but I keep getting the following message in the backend logs:

Code: Select all

2015-03-17 21:44:50.335266 C [333/11783] SSDP ssdp.cpp:339 (ProcessData) - SSDP Request from WAN IP address (0.0.0.0). Possible SSDP Reflection attempt. Ignoring as security risk.
This entry is getting generated about every second in the logs, and it is literally littering the log files, making trying to find valid information pretty hard. I have tried disabling IPv6 as someone in this post suggested: https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12305
That did not help. Can someone suggest any thing else to try, and maybe explain what causes Myth to output this message?

thx

I'd like to, but I'm using the macports version and not sure I can overwrite it with another build. Which version do most Mac users install?

thx

I understand that if you are using Macports you need to remain with it.

Sorry, I need to cut a new installer with a more recent version of 0.27.4-fixes. Time has been very short recently but I will get to this soon. The new version will install over top of the existing version with no upgrade or migration required.

Just to be clear, it is not like there is any lock in or anything. Your recordings are in whatever folder you directed Myth to put them in. You can backup your database and restore it somewhere else with no MacPorts-related issues. (Ie, just the normal stuff if you migrate to a new backend, etc.)

No problem, I understand. I was just hoping to find a workaround in the meantime.
