NetworkManager Permission Enforcement Multiple Local Vulnrabilities

NetworkManager is prone to multiple local vulnerabilities because the software fails to properly enforce permissions.

Local attackers can exploit these issue to perform dbus queries to view network connection passwords and pre-shared keys and to modify or delete network connections. Other attacks may also be possible.
