Título:	RedHat Update for NetworkManager RHSA-2011:1338-01
Resumen:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'NetworkManager'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Descripción:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'NetworkManager' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: NetworkManager is a network link manager that attempts to keep a wired or wireless network connection active at all times. The ifcfg-rh NetworkManager plug-in is used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions to read and write configuration information from the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files. An input sanitization flaw was found in the way the ifcfg-rh NetworkManager plug-in escaped network connection names containing special characters. If PolicyKit was configured to allow local, unprivileged users to create and save new network connections, they could create a connection with a specially-crafted name, leading to the escalation of their privileges. Note: By default, PolicyKit prevents unprivileged users from creating and saving network connections. (CVE-2011-3364) Red Hat would like to thank Matt McCutchen for reporting this issue. Users of NetworkManager should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Running instances of NetworkManager must be restarted ('service NetworkManager restart') for this update to take effect. Affected Software/OS: NetworkManager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
