Access Restriction Bypass in ConnMan by Intel

CVE-2012-2320

What is CVE-2012-2320?

The ConnMan application prior to version 0.85 is susceptible to a security vulnerability that allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by sending specially crafted netlink messages. This flaw arises because ConnMan does not verify that incoming netlink messages originate from a valid kernel source. Exploiting this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access and potential disruptions to services, highlighting the importance of implementing proper security checks for message handling within the application.
