Original title
NetworkManager security update
Original description
NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all times. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If using DHCP, NetworkManager is intended to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server, and change name servers whenever it sees fit.

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in NetworkManager. The NetworkManager package allows access to files that may belong to other users. NetworkManager allows non-root users to configure the system&apos;s network. The daemon runs with root privileges and can access files owned by users different from the one who added the connection.(CVE-2025-9615)
