openSUSE Security Update: NetworkManager-gnome ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2012:0101-1 Rating: moderate References: #574266 #732700 Affected Products: openSUSE 11.4 openSUSE 11.3 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that contains security fixes can now be installed. Description: NetworkManager did not pin a certificate's subject to an ESSID. A rogue access point could therefore be used to conduct MITM attacks by using any other valid certificate issued by same CA as used in the original network (CVE-2006-7246). Please note that existing WPA2 Enterprise connections need to be deleted and re-created to take advantage of the new security checks. This is a re-release of the previous update to also enable the checks for EAP-TLS. Patch Instructions: To install this openSUSE Security Update use YaST online_update.
