[SECURITY] Fedora 7 Update: NetworkManager-0.6.5-3.fc7
Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-0186 2007-06-04 16:51:09.888259

Name       : NetworkManager Product    : Fedora 7 Version    : 0.6.5 Release    : 3.fc7 Summary    : Network connection manager and user applications Description : NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all times. It is intended only for the desktop use-case, and is not intended for usage on servers. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If using DHCP, NetworkManager is _intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit.

Update Information:

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the debugging code of Fedora's version of wpa_supplicant. This can be triggered by those using NetworkManager.

It is recommended that users of wpa_supplicant or NetworkManager update to this package (and the accompanying wpa_supplicant packages) which removes the affected debug code.

ChangeLog:

- Don't spawn wpa_supplicant with -o
