Fedora: 2005-680 Critical: NetworkManager Syslog Issue Resolved

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.

Network Manager passes logging messages straight to syslog

as the format string.

This causes it to crash when connecting to access points

that contain format string characters.

This was reported initially by Ian Jackson:
