The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 8.10: network-manager-gnome 0.7~~svn20081020t000444-0ubuntu1.8.10.3 Ubuntu 9.04: network-manager-gnome 0.7.1~rc4.1-0ubuntu2.1 After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: It was discovered that NetworkManager did not ensure that the Certification Authority (CA) certificate file remained present when using WPA Enterprise or 802.1x networks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to spoof the identity of a wireless network and view sensitive information. (CVE-2009-4144) It was discovered that the connection editor GUI would incorrectly export objects over D-Bus. A local user could read D-Bus signals to view other users' network connection passwords and pre-shared keys.
