An issue was discovered in the DNS proxy in Connman through 1.40. The TCP server reply implementation lacks a check for the presence of sufficient Header Data, leading to an out-of-bounds read.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202310-21 (ConnMan: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - An issue was discovered in the DNS proxy in Connman through 1.40. The TCP server reply implementation     lacks a check for the presence of sufficient Header Data, leading to an out-of-bounds read.
    (CVE-2022-23096)

  - An issue was discovered in the DNS proxy in Connman through 1.40. forward_dns_reply mishandles a strnlen     call, leading to an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2022-23097)

  - An issue was discovered in the DNS proxy in Connman through 1.40. The TCP server reply implementation has     an infinite loop if no data is received. (CVE-2022-23098)

  - In ConnMan through 1.41, remote attackers able to send HTTP requests to the gweb component are able to     exploit a heap-based buffer overflow in received_data to execute code. (CVE-2022-32292)

  - In ConnMan through 1.41, a man-in-the-middle attack against a WISPR HTTP query could be used to trigger a     use-after-free in WISPR handling, leading to crashes or code execution. (CVE-2022-32293)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6236-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ConnMan could be made to write out of bounds. A remote attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause ConnMan to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary     code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-26675, CVE-2021-33833)

    It was discovered that ConnMan could be made to leak sensitive information via the gdhcp component. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain information for further exploitation. This issue     only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-26676)

    It was discovered that ConnMan could be made to read out of bounds. A remote attacker could possibly use     this issue to case ConnMan to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu     16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-23096, CVE-2022-23097)

    It was discovered that ConnMan could be made to run into an infinite loop. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause ConnMan to consume resources and to stop operating, resulting in a denial     of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu     22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-23098)

    It was discovered that ConnMan could be made to write out of bounds via the gweb component. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ConnMan to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04     LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-32292)

    It was discovered that ConnMan did not properly manage memory under certain circumstances. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ConnMan to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04     LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-32293)

    It was discovered that ConnMan could be made to write out of bounds via the gdhcp component. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ConnMan to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-28488)
