Debian DLA-2552-1 : connman security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 146361

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A remote information leak vulnerability and a remote buffer overflow vulnerability were discovered in ConnMan, a network manager for embedded devices, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.33-3+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your connman packages.

For the detailed security status of connman please refer to its security tracker page at:

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
