Synopsis

========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in ConnMan, allowing attackers

to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

 

Background

==========

 

ConnMan provides a daemon for managing Internet connections.

 

Affected packages

=================

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

-------------------------------------------------------------------

1 net-misc/connman < 1.0-r1 >= 1.0-r1

 

Description

===========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in ConnMan:

 

* Errors in inet.c and rtnl.c prevent ConnMan from checking the origin

of netlink messages (CVE-2012-2320).

* ConnMan does not properly check for shell escapes when requesting a

hostname via DHCP (CVE-2012-2321).

* An infinite loop error exists in client.c (CVE-2012-2322).

 

Impact

======

 

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of

the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.

 

Workaround

==========

 

There is no known workaround at this time.

 

Resolution

==========

 

All ConnMan users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/connman-1.0-r1"
