Upgrade Connman to 1.39 for Ubuntu 18.04

[adubois1337]

There are two CVEs out against Connman versions <1.39 (https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-26676 & https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-26675) and it looks like https://github.com/rcn-ee/repos/tree/master/ubuntu-1804-connman is version 1.36.

Is it possible to upgrade Connman to version 1.39?

Ah, crap, looks like the maintainer stopped working on it..

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/connman

I sent the maintainer an email. Is there anything else you recommend I do to get this resolved?

Let's wait to see what his plan is.. i use connman in everything, so if he's not interested, i'll start working on packging it for us..

[adubois1337]

The primary maintainer asked me to file a bug report (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=988198) as he is not doing much work on Connman anymore and there is someone else in the community who is doing more work. The tracker seems fairly out of date at this point. I'll defer to you on how long we want to give them, but I'm not holding my breath for much movement on their end.

I haven't heard anything on the package maintainer's side after I submitted the report. Would it be possible to put this issue on your backlog then?
