ConnMan before 0.85 does not ensure that netlink messages originate from the kernel, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and cause a denial of service via a crafted netlink message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

ConnMan before 0.85 failed to verify that netlink messages really came from the kernel. The sources say a crafted netlink message could bypass intended restrictions and cause denial of service. Business impact is most relevant for legacy systems still using old ConnMan packages. Exposure is limited to systems running ConnMan before 0.85. Likely candidates are older Linux distributions, embedded devices, mobile-oriented Linux images, or appliances that kept legacy ConnMan packages. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete. Handle as a targeted legacy exposure issue, not a broad emergency. Prioritize assets where ConnMan manages production network connectivity or where embedded devices are difficult to patch. Mitigation focus: Upgrade ConnMan to version 0.85 or a vendor-fixed package.; Check distribution advisories for backported fixes if version strings differ.; Remove or disable ConnMan where another supported network manager is used..
