Description:Summary:

Vulnerability Insight:
It was found that nmcli, a command line interface to NetworkManager did
not honour 802-1x.ca-path and 802-1x.phase2-ca-path settings, when
creating a new profile. When a user connects to a network using this
profile, the authentication does not happen and the connection is made
insecurely (CVE-2020-10754).

The networkmanager package has been updated to version 1.18.8, fixing
this issue and other bugs.

Also, the networkmanager-applet package has been updated to version
1.8.24. It also adds support for connecting to WPA3 / SAE protected
wireless networks.

gnome-control-center and gnome-shell have been fixed to correctly
identify the connections as WPA3.

Affected Software/OS:
'gnome-control-center, gnome-shell, networkmanager, networkmanager-applet' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
