CVE-2009-0365

Publication date 5 March 2009

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

nm-applet.conf in GNOME NetworkManager before 0.7.0.99 contains an incorrect deny setting, which allows local users to discover (1) network connection passwords and (2) pre-shared keys via calls to the GetSecrets method in the dbus request handler.
