As I investigated the problem how to secure a connection manager I was hinted at Note:1455068.1.
The solution is somewhat easy: Only allow incoming connections to your systems. e.g.
(rule=(src=*)(dst=10.220.8.114)(srv=*)(act=accept))
In a well designed environment where you can separate your DB Servers from others at low network layers, a set of CMAN might be enough to secure your DBs against CVE-2012-1675.
At least it might be a simple and fast solution to secure your systens from untrusted areas, until you know how to secure the DB servers themselves. Especially for legacy systems it might be the only solution to secure it.
