NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream network-manager-applet package and not the network-manager-applet package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNOME NetworkManager before 0.7.0.99 does not properly verify privileges for dbus (1) modify and (2) delete requests, which allows local users to change or remove the network connections of arbitrary users via unspecified vectors related to org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings and at_console.
