"NetworkManager is a network link manager that attempts to keep a wired
or

wireless network connection active at all times. The ifcfg-rh

NetworkManager plug-in is used in Scientific Linux distributions to

read and write configuration information from the

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files.

An input sanitization flaw was found in the way the ifcfg-rh
NetworkManager

plug-in escaped network connection names containing special
characters. If

PolicyKit was configured to allow local, unprivileged users to create
and

save new network connections, they could create a connection with a

specially crafted name, leading to the escalation of their privileges.

Note: By default, PolicyKit prevents unprivileged users from creating
and

saving network connections. (CVE-2011-3364)

Users of NetworkManager should upgrade to these updated packages,
which

contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Running instances of

NetworkManager must be restarted ('service NetworkManager restart')
for

this update to take effect."
