How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Echo:latest network-manager-fortisslvpn.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream network-manager-fortisslvpn package and not the network-manager-fortisslvpn package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in NetworkManager-fortisslvpn, the FortiSSLVPN plugin for NetworkManager. The nm-fortisslvpn-service improperly handles carriage-return/line-feed (CR/LF) characters in VPN connection profile credentials. A local unprivileged user can exploit this by crafting a malicious VPN profile to inject additional configuration directives. This can lead to arbitrary code execution with root privileges when the crafted VPN connection is activated.
