RedHat: RHSA-2009-0362:01 Moderate: NetworkManager security update
Summary
NetworkManager is a network link manager that attempts to keep a wired or
wireless network connection active at all times.
An information disclosure flaw was found in NetworkManager's D-Bus
interface. A local attacker could leverage this flaw to discover sensitive
information, such as network connection passwords and pre-shared keys.
(CVE-2009-0365)
Red Hat would like to thank Ludwig Nussel for responsibly reporting this
flaw.
NetworkManager users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch that corrects this issue.
