The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 8.10: network-manager-gnome 0.7~~svn20081020t000444-0ubuntu1.8.10.3 Ubuntu 9.04: network-manager-gnome 0.7.1~rc4.1-0ubuntu2.1 After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: It was discovered that NetworkManager did not ensure that the Certification Authority (CA) certificate file remained present when using WPA Enterprise or 802.1x networks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to spoof the identity of a wireless network and view sensitive information. (CVE-2009-4144) It was discovered that the connection editor GUI would incorrectly export objects over D-Bus. A local user could read D-Bus signals to view other users' network connection passwords and pre-shared keys. (CVE-2009-4145)

NAME

       system-config-printer-applet - print job manager

SYNOPSIS

       system-config-printer-applet [--help] [--version] [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

       system-config-printer-applet is a print job manager for CUPS. Normally it will display a printer icon in the notification area, greyed out
       when there are no print jobs for the current user. Clicking on the icon displays a simple print job manager for cancelling or reprinting
       jobs.

       To save memory, the applet waits first of all until the user has printed a job before putting the icon in the notification area. To invoke
       the print job manager before a job has been printed, run the applet with the --no-tray-icon option: a desktop file is provided for this, so
       that it should appear in the system menu.

       As well as displaying a printer icon in the notification area, the applet also provides a D-BUS server for the
       com.redhat.PrintDriverSelection interface, to help configure a new printer when it is plugged in.

OPTIONS

       --help
	   Display a short usage message.

       --version
	   Display the version of the applet.

       --debug
	   Show debugging information.
