Package : connman Version : 1.36-2.1~deb10u3 CVE IDs : CVE-2022-32292 CVE-2022-32293 Debian Bug : #1016976

It was discovered that there were two issues in connman, a daemon for managing internet connections within embedded devices:

* CVE-2022-32292: Prevent an issue where remote attackers able to send HTTP requests to the gweb component were able to exploit a heap-based buffer overflow in the received_data function to execute code.

* CVE-2022-32293: Prevent a man-in-the-middle attack against a WISPR HTTP query which could be used to trigger a use-after-free in WISPR handling, leading to crashes or even code execution.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.36-2.1~deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your connman packages.
