Title:RHSA-2009:0362: NetworkManager security update (Moderate)
Description: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.
