Publication date 23 December 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

nm-connection-editor in NetworkManager (NM) 0.7.x exports connection objects over D-Bus upon actions in the connection editor GUI, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading D-Bus signals, as demonstrated by using dbus-monitor to discover the password for the WiFi network.
