NetworkManager did not pin a certificate’s subject to an ESSID. A rogue access point could therefore be used to conduct MITM attacks by using any other valid certificate issued by same CA as used in the original network (CVE-2006-7246).
Please note that existing WPA2 Enterprise connections need to be deleted and re-created to take advantage of the new security checks.
This is a re-release of the previous update to also enable the checks for EAP-TLS.
