Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 80.7% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: network-manager (Debian:12) 1.12.0-2; NetworkManager (openSUSE:Leap 15.0) 1.10.6-lp150.4.6.1; NetworkManager (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 1.32.10-2.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to network-manager (Debian:12) 1.12.0-2; NetworkManager (openSUSE:Leap 15.0) 1.10.6-lp150.4.6.1; NetworkManager (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 1.32.10-2.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

GNOME NetworkManager version 1.10.2 and earlier contains a Information Exposure (CWE-200) vulnerability in DNS resolver that can result in Private DNS queries leaked to local network's DNS servers, while on VPN. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in Some Ubuntu 16.04 packages were fixed, but later updates removed the fix. cf. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1754671 an upstream fix does not appear to be available at this time.
