Fedora Core 3: FEDORA-2005-071 Moderate: NetworkManager Encryption Issues

fedora
Calendar Grey January 31, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora Core 3 has released a patch to tackle encryption vulnerabilities in NetworkManager, alongside enhancements to DNS settings to improve overall network performance.
* Thu Jan 21 2005 - 0.3.3-1.cvs20050119 - Fix issue where NM wouldn't recognize that access points were encrypted, and then would try to connect without...

Summary

NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all

times. It is intended only for the desktop use-case, and is not intended for

usage on servers. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking

configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If using DHCP,

NetworkManager is _intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses

from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit.

- Fix issue where NM wouldn't recognize that access points were

encrypted, and then would try to connect without encryption

- Refine packaging to put client library in separate package

- Remove bind+caching-nameserver dep for FC-3, use 'nscd -i hosts'

instead. DNS queries may timeout now right after device

activation due to this change.
