Package : network-manager-iodine
CVE ID : CVE-2026-91837
Debian Bug : 1148114
Andreas Gabriel Berbescu discovered that network-manager-iodine, the
iodine VPN plugin for NetworkManager, did not properly validate the
nameserver setting when establishing a connection, allowing a local
unprivileged user to execute arbitrary commands as root prior to
privilege dropping.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.0-3.3+deb13u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your network-manager-iodine packages.
