NetworkManager is a network link manager that attempts to keep a wired or
wireless network connection active at all times.

An information disclosure flaw was found in NetworkManager's D-Bus
interface. A local attacker could leverage this flaw to discover sensitive
information, such as network connection passwords and pre-shared keys.
(CVE-2009-0365)

A potential denial of service flaw was found in NetworkManager's D-Bus
