CVE-2025-9615 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade networkmanager/networkmanager to version 1.52.2, 1.57.1-dev or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Preservation of Permissions in the VPN plugins. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to files owned by other users by configuring network connections as a non-root user, which are then processed by the daemon running with elevated privileges.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by enabling SELinux in targeted enforcing mode, which restricts unwanted permissions for processes.
