ConnMan: Multiple vulnerabilities — GLSA 201205-02

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in ConnMan, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

Package	net-misc/connman on all architectures
Affected versions	< 1.0-r1
Unaffected versions	>= 1.0-r1

ConnMan provides a daemon for managing Internet connections.

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).

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All ConnMan users should upgrade to the latest version:

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