Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the svEscape function in settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/shvar.c in the ifcfg-rh plug-in for GNOME NetworkManager 0.9.1, 0.9.0, 0.8.1, and possibly other versions, when PolicyKit is configured to allow users to create new connections, allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a newline character in the name for a new network connection, which is not properly handled when writing to the ifcfg file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old local privilege-escalation issue in GNOME NetworkManager. A user who can create network connections may be able to abuse malformed connection names so NetworkManager writes unsafe configuration content and runs commands locally. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems using GNOME NetworkManager 0.9.1, 0.9.0, 0.8.1, or possibly related versions with the ifcfg-rh plug-in and permissive PolicyKit connection-creation rights. Prioritize this for legacy Linux estates or shared-user systems. It is less urgent than remotely exploitable flaws, but it can turn a local account into deeper host control under the right configuration. Mitigation focus: Apply applicable vendor updates from Red Hat, Fedora, or Mandriva advisories.; Check current distribution guidance for supported backported fixes.; Restrict PolicyKit permissions for creating NetworkManager connections to trusted users..
