Package: network-manager-ssh
Version: 1.2.11-1.1
Severity: important
User: biebl@debian.org
Usertags: CVE-2025-9615

Hi,

the network-manager package was subject to a security issue related to
insecure access to user certificates. See [0] for more details.

This was fixed in [1] and now all VPN plugins need to declare that they
support the new, safe interface.
See [2] for further details and [3] for a similar change that was done
for network-manager-openvpn.

The network-manager 1.54.x package in unstable/testing has been updated
to provide safe APIs for user certificate file access.
For now the usage of those safe APIs is optional but will become
mandatory in network-manager 1.56.
At which point this bug report will become RC as network-manager will
refuse to load VPN plugins without
"supports-safe-private-file-access=true".

Regards,
Michael
