Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2011:171 (networkmanager)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to networkmanager announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:171. Security issues were identified and fixed in networkmanager: GNOME NetworkManager before 0.8.6 does not properly enforce the auth_admin element in PolicyKit, which allows local users to bypass intended wireless network sharing restrictions via unspecified vectors (CVE-2011-2176). Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the svEscape function in settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/shvar.c in the ifcfg-rh plug-in for GNOME NetworkManager 0.9.1, 0.9.0, 0.8.1, and possibly other versions, when PolicyKit is configured to allow users to create new connections, allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a newline character in the name for a new network connection, which is not properly handled when writing to the ifcfg file (CVE-2011-3364). Instead of patching networkmanager, the latest 0.8.6.0 stable version is being provided due to the large amount of bugs fixed upstream. Also the networkmanager-applet, networkmanager-openconnect, networkmanager-openvpn, networkmanager-pptp, networkmanager-vpnc is being provided with their latest 0.8.6.0 stable versions. The provided packages solves these security vulnerabilities. Affected: 2011. Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2011:171 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/plain/NEWS?h=NM_0_8 Risk factor : High
