"An update for NetworkManager is now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link (s) in the References section.

NetworkManager is a system network service that manages network
devices and connections, attempting to keep active network
connectivity when available. Its capabilities include managing
Ethernet, wireless, mobile broadband (WWAN), and PPPoE devices, as
well as providing VPN integration with a variety of different VPN
services.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
NetworkManager (1.4.0), NetworkManager-libreswan (1.2.4),
network-manager-applet (1.4.0), libnl3 (3.2.28). (BZ#1264552,
BZ#1296058, BZ# 1032717, BZ#1271581)

Security Fix(es) :

* A race condition vulnerability was discovered in NetworkManager.
Temporary files were created insecurely when saving or updating
connection settings, which could allow local users to read connection
secrets such as VPN passwords or WiFi keys. (CVE-2016-0764)

Additional Changes :

Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section.");
