to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.
Background

ConnMan provides a daemon for managing Internet connections.
Affected packages

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/connman < 1.0-r1 >= 1.0-r1
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in ConnMan:
* Errors in inet.c and rtnl.c prevent ConnMan from checking the origin
of netlink messages (CVE-2012-2320).

hostname via DHCP (CVE-2012-2321).

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All ConnMan users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/connman-1.0-r1"
