 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3397-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb April 21, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

 Package : connman Version : 1.36-2.1~deb10u4 CVE ID : CVE-2023-28488 Debian Bug : 1034393

 It was discovered that there was a potential denial of service vulnerabilty in connman, a command-line network manager designed for use on embedded devices.

 Network-adjacent attackers operating a crafted DHCP server could have caused a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service through terminating the connman process.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.36-2.1~deb10u4.

 We recommend that you upgrade your connman packages.

 For the detailed security status of connman please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/connman

 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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

Solution

Upgrade the connman packages.
