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. 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.
