Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'NetworkManager'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'NetworkManager' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: NetworkManager is a network link manager that attempts to keep a wired or wireless network connection active at all times. It was found that NetworkManager did not properly enforce PolicyKit settings controlling the permissions to configure wireless network sharing. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to bypass intended PolicyKit restrictions, allowing them to enable wireless network sharing. (CVE-2011-2176) Users of NetworkManager should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Running instances of NetworkManager must be restarted ('service NetworkManager restart') for this update to take effect. Affected Software/OS: NetworkManager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
