Security issues with Lubuntu 14.04

[Marco S.]

I noticed two security problem with 14.04:

1. NetworkManager settings can bemodified without root privileges. If
you edit some connections, you can apply the modifications without
entering the root password.
2. light-locker is run as normal user. It can be killed without
problems and its settings can be modified without root privilegies.
The same problems was present before of the introduction of
light-locker, but I never noticed it.

Can you confirm these problems? Do you know if the behaviour of Ubuntu
is the same?
