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: [link moved to references]");
