Wicd is an open source wired and wireless network manager for Linux.

+
+ +

Two vulnerabilities have been found in Wicd:

+ +
    +
  • Passwords and passphrases are written to /var/log/wicd + (CVE-2012-0813). +
  • +
  • Input from the daemon's D-Bus interface is not properly sanitized + (CVE-2012-2095). +
  • +
+
+ +

A local attacker could gain privileges of the root user or obtain + sensitive information. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All Wicd users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ + + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/wicd-1.7.2.1" + + +
