This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center -
1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.2
---------------
gnome-control-center (1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.2) saucy-proposed; urgency=low
* debian/patches/sanitize_ssid_convert_utf8.patch: make sure we properly
convert the SSID to UTF-8 where possible; using nm_utils_ssid_to_utf8(),
rather than nm_utils_escape_ssid() which isn't meant to be used that way.
(LP: #1198315)

Title:
[network]: gnome-control-center SIGSEGV in append_escaped_text()
(invalid utf8 ssid name)
Status in GNOME Control Center:
New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Saucy:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Any user who tries to open the gnome-control-center, having a wireless
network with extended characters (such as ö, ü, etc.) in range, or saved in
connections in NetworkManager.
[Test Case]
1) With a wireless network in range or saved, named "üö" or with any such
character in the SSID, try to open gnome-control-center network panel.
With the patch, the panel opens.
Without the patch, the panel doesn't open, gnome-control-center crashes.
[Regression Potential]
This changes the way the wireless network SSIDs are displayed in the UI. They
will retain the method in which they are sorted, but in the event that multiple
SSIDs with very similar names but with a different, complex character in the
name in the same location (e.g. ABC vs. ABX, if C and X were special
characters), they would both show with ? in place of any special character that
cannot be represented in UTF-8. In the previous example; ABC and ABX would be
in the right order, but both would be displayed as "AB?".
