How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 NetworkManager-team to version 1:1.18.8-1.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2020:4003.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream NetworkManager-team package and not the NetworkManager-team package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was found that nmcli, a command line interface to NetworkManager did not honour 802-1x.ca-path and 802-1x.phase2-ca-path settings, when creating a new profile. When a user connects to a network using this profile, the authentication does not happen and the connection is made insecurely.
