> USN-8806-1: NetworkManager vulnerability
[DATE: 23/09/2026 13:24]
[LANGUAGE: EN]
It was discovered that NetworkManager did not properly restrict the
ca-path and phase2-ca-path certificate authority settings for private
(single-user) 802.1X network connections. An attacker could use this issue
to point their own private 802.1X connection profile at a directory under
their control, causing NetworkManager to trust an attacker-chosen
certificate authority and potentially exposing network credentials via a
rogue authentication server.
