Debian Security Advisory DSA-4253-1 security@debian.org

Package : network-manager-vpnc
CVE ID : CVE-2018-10900
Debian Bug : 904255
Denis Andzakovic discovered that network-manager-vpnc, a plugin to
provide VPNC support for NetworkManager, is prone to a privilege
escalation vulnerability. A newline character can be used to inject a
Password helper parameter into the configuration data passed to vpnc,
allowing a local user with privileges to modify a system connection to
execute arbitrary commands as root.
For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.4-4+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your network-manager-vpnc packages.
For the detailed security status of network-manager-vpnc please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/network-manager-vpnc
