network-manager vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

NetworkManager could create insecure AdHoc wireless networks.

Software Description:
- network-manager: Network connection manager

Details:

It was discovered that certain wireless drivers incorrectly handled the
creation of WPA-secured AdHoc connections. This could result in AdHoc
wireless connections being created without any security at all. This update
removes WPA as a security choice for AdHoc connections in NetworkManager.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
  network-manager                 0.8-0ubuntu3.3

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
