Name        : NetworkManager
Product     : Fedora 7
Version     : 0.6.5
Release     : 3.fc7
Summary     : Network connection manager and user applications
Description :
NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all
times.  It is intended only for the desktop use-case, and is not intended for
usage on servers.   The point of NetworkManager is to make networking
configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible.  If using DHCP,
NetworkManager is _intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses
from a DHCP server, and change nameservers whenever it sees fit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the debugging code of Fedora's version of wpa_supplicant.
This can be triggered by those using NetworkManager.

It is recommended that users of wpa_supplicant or NetworkManager update to this package
(and the accompanying wpa_supplicant packages) which removes the affected debug code.
