Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ConnMan versions 1.30 through 1.39
Description
The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the dnsproxy package of ConnMan, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The overflow occurs in the uncompress function in dnsproxy.c via
NAME, RDATA, or RDLENGTH (for A or AAAA records).Recommendations
For versions 1.30 through 1.39, consider disabling the uncompress function in dnsproxy.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the dnsproxy package to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the
NAME, RDATA, or RDLENGTH variables in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.Exploit
