Synopsis

Moderate: NetworkManager security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Moderate

Topic

Updated NetworkManager packages that fix a security issue are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

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.
