+  <background>
+    <p>NetworkManager is an universal network configuration daemon for laptops,
+      desktops, servers and virtualization hosts.
+    </p>
+    
+    <p>The VPNC plugin provides easy access Cisco Concentrator based VPN’s
+      utilizing NetworkManager.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>When initiating a VPNC connection, NetworkManager spawns a new vpnc
+      process and passes the configuration via STDIN. By injecting a special
+      character into a configuration parameter, an attacker can coerce
+      NetworkManager to set the Password helper option to an attacker
+      controlled executable file.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>A local attacker is able to escalate privileges via a specially crafted
+      configuration file.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>All NetworkManager VPNC plugin users should upgrade to the latest
+      version:
