Vulnerabilities

The SetWiredProperty function in the D-Bus interface in WICD before 1.7.2 allows local users to write arbitrary configuration settings and gain privileges via a crafted property name in a dbus message.

Wicd before 1.7.1 saves sensitive information in log files in /var/log/wicd, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain passwords and other sensitive information.

The DBus configuration file for Wicd before 1.5.9 allows arbitrary users to own org.wicd.daemon, which allows local users to receive messages that were intended for the Wicd daemon, possibly including credentials.
