2011-08-01 18:25:37 komputes security vulnerability no yes
2011-08-01 18:26:05 komputes description Binary package hint: network-manager Ubuntu jaunty (development branch). How to reproduce: 1) In nm-applet, bring up the "Create New Wireless Network" dialog. 2) Specify a new network name and choose "WPA & WPA2 Personal" for security. 3) Specify a password and press Create. 4) On another computer, connect to the new ad-hoc network. Expected behavior: the authentication dialog should prompt for a "WPA & WPA2 Personal" password. Actual behavior: the authentication dialog prompts for a WEP key/passphrase. It is impossible to log on. In my experience, the only security that works for an ad-hoc wireless network is WEP key/passphrase or no security, not WPA.
