Descriptions
The default configuration of consolehelper in system-config-network before 1.5.10-1 on Fedora 8 lacks the USER=root directive, which allows local users of the workstation console to gain privileges and change the network configuration.
La configuración predeterminada de consolehelper en system-config-network versiones anteriores a 1.5.10-1 en Fedora versión 8, carece de la directiva USER=root, lo que permite a los usuarios locales de la consola de la estación de trabajo alcanzar privilegios y cambiar la configuración de la red.
