SuSE Update for NetworkManager, wpa_supplicant, NetworkManager-gnome SUSE-SA:2011:045. When using 802.11X authentication, NetworkManager did not pin a certificate's subject to an ESSID, potentially leading to man-in-the-middle attacks. Install the updated packages

tag_insight = "When 802.11X authentication is used (ie WPA Enterprise)
  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 the same CA as used
  in the original network CVE-2006-7246. If password based
  authentication is used (e.g. via PEAP or EAP-TTLS) this means an
  attacker could sniff and potentially crack the password hashes of
  the victims.

  The certificate checks are only performed on newly created
  connections. Users must therefore delete and re-create any existing
  WPA Enterprise connections using e.g. nm-connection-editor to take
  advantage of the checks.

  knetworkmanager is also affected by but a fix is currently not
  available. Users of knetworkmanager are advised to use nm-applet for
  802.11X networks instead.

  The following document gives a more detailed explanation about the
  problem in general. Administrators are advised to take the
  opportunity to review security of their wireless networks if 802.11X
  authentication is used.
