Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Sorry, I was not aware that this was marked as a security related bug. I
might have done something by mistake in the browser UI to mark it as a
security issue but I do not think so.

Best regards,

Peter

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you for your bug report, that's an issue ranked 45 on the daily trusty e.u.c,
https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/eecaae4c294316bd4be0f7ecf11d8b23fa02a9f0

The bug should be fixed by that commit:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=9c57277aeb4e0794780296adc329fa720c42a982

Mathieu, could we get that one backported to our version (well, at least in trusty, not sure that's worth a SRU)
