Descriptions

NetworkManager (NM) 0.7.2 does not ensure that the configured Certification Authority (CA) certificate file for a (1) WPA Enterprise or (2) 802.1x network remains present upon a connection attempt, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (connectivity disruption) by spoofing the identity of a wireless network.

NetworkManager (NM) v0.7.2 no asegura que el fichero del certificado de la autoridad de certificación (CA) configurada para una red (1) WPA Enterprise o (2) 802.1x continúe presente durante un intento de conexión, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible o provocar una denegación de servicio (interrupción de conectividad) mediante la suplantación de identidad de una red inalámbrica.
