Title:DSA-1955-1 network-manager/network-manager-applet -- information disclosure
Description:It was discovered that network-manager-applet, a network management framework, lacks some dbus restriction rules, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information. If you have locally modified the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf file, then please make sure that you merge the changes from this fix when asked during upgrade. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.6-4+lenny1 of network-manager-applet.
