Descriptions

A flaw was found in NetworkManager. The NetworkManager package allows access to files that may belong to other users. NetworkManager allows non-root users to configure the system's network. The daemon runs with root privileges and can access files owned by users different from the one who added the connection.

These are all security issues fixed in the NetworkManager-applet-l2tp-1.52.0-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
