(RHSA-2009:0361) Moderate: NetworkManager security update

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)

A potential denial of service flaw was found in NetworkManager’s D-Bus
interface. A local user could leverage this flaw to modify local connection
settings, preventing the system’s network connection from functioning
properly. (CVE-2009-0578)

Red Hat would like to thank Ludwig Nussel for reporting these flaws
responsibly.

Users of NetworkManager should upgrade to these updated packages which
contain backported patches to correct these issues.
