Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: NetworkManager security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0108-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0108.html

Issue date: 2010-02-16

CVE Names: CVE-2009-4144 CVE-2009-4145

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated NetworkManager packages that fix two security issues are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

NetworkManager is a network link manager that attempts to keep a wired or

wireless network connection active at all times.

 

A missing network certificate verification flaw was found in

NetworkManager. If a user created a WPA Enterprise or 802.1x wireless

network connection that was verified using a Certificate Authority (CA)

certificate, and then later removed that CA certificate file,

NetworkManager failed to verify the identity of the network on the

following connection attempts. In these situations, a malicious wireless

network spoofing the original network could trick a user into disclosing

authentication credentials or communicating over an untrusted network.

(CVE-2009-4144)

 

An information disclosure flaw was found in NetworkManager's

nm-connection-editor D-Bus interface. If a user edited network connection

options using nm-connection-editor, a summary of those changes was

broadcasted over the D-Bus message bus, possibly disclosing sensitive

information (such as wireless network authentication credentials) to other

local users. (CVE-2009-4145)

 

Users of NetworkManager should upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to correct these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
