Hi,

this issue got a CVE id:

CVE-2009-4144[0]:
| NetworkManager (NM) 0.7.2 does not ensure that the configured
| Certification Authority (CA) certificate file for a (1) WPA Enterprise
| or (2) 802.1x network remains present upon a connection attempt, which
| might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause
| a denial of service (connectivity disruption) by spoofing the identity
| of a wireless network.

Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable and oldstable. It
does not warrant a DSA.

However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[1].
Please contact the release team for this.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE id in your changelog entry.
