Synopsis:	Moderate: NetworkManager security update

CVE Names:	CVE-2009-4144 CVE-2009-4145

CVE-2009-4145 NetworkManager: information disclosure by nm-connection-editor
CVE-2009-4144 NetworkManager: WPA enterprise network not verified when 
certificate is removed

A missing network certificate verification flaw was found in
NetworkManager. If a user created a WPA Enterprise or 802.1x wireless
network connection that was verified using a Certificate Authority (CA)
certificate, and then later removed that CA certificate file,
NetworkManager failed to verify the identity of the network on the
following connection attempts. In these situations, a malicious wireless
network spoofing the original network could trick a user into disclosing
authentication credentials or communicating over an untrusted network.
(CVE-2009-4144)

An information disclosure flaw was found in NetworkManager's
nm-connection-editor D-Bus interface. If a user edited network 
connection options using nm-connection-editor, a summary of those 
changes was broadcasted over the D-Bus message bus, possibly disclosing 
sensitive information (such as wireless network authentication 
credentials) to other local users. (CVE-2009-4145)
