[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#619598: network-manager-gnome: only validate ESSID before connect to an access point

[Cristian Paul Peñaranda Rojas]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: normal

If you already connect to a wireless acess point, you automatically
reconnect
next time
the network manager will connect again to any other access point with
same
BSSID
no taking care about other variables that can warm user about this is
not same
trusted acess point
or just another with same name.

IMHO  may lead an attacker to fake that access point ESSID name and
steal
private sensitive data from the user.
