Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.2.0-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
I followed the following steps:
- Connect to a wired network.
- Click the network-manager-gnome icon, and select "Create New Wireless
Network..."
- Type a network name.
- Select "WPA & WPA2 Personal".
- Click "Show password".
- Paste in a secure password (from pwgen -s 12).
- Click "Create".
- Observe that NetworkManager's icon for the network includes the lock
icon indicating a secure network.
- Attempt to connect to the network from my N900.
- Observe that network icon shows lack of security.
- Observe that I can connect to the network and access the Internet
through the network without providing the previously-specified
password.
Note that creating a network using WEP results in a WEP-"secured"
network, rather than an unsecured network. This issue only seems to
happen when attempting to create a WPA network.

Closing, then. (And updating the Debian security tracker)
