Details: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-51442
The description of the vulnerability says "attacker [...] execute arbitrary OS commands via a specially crafted minidlna.conf configuration file". There is no official fix for this CVE, and upstream seems to be inactive for the past 3 years. The reason for ignoring this CVE is that the referenced minidlna.conf file is in the /etc folder, and the file is not world-writable. Which means that this vulnerability can be exploited only when someone is root - but if the attacker is already root, they don't need to resort to minidlna config-file modifications to execute any command they want.
