-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-5909 2012-04-14 22:41:56 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : wicd Product : Fedora 16 Version : 1.7.0 Release : 13.fc16 URL : http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Wireless and wired network connection manager Description : Wicd is designed to give the user as much control over behavior of network connections as possible. Every network, both wired and wireless, has its own profile with its own configuration options and connection behavior. Wicd will try to automatically connect only to networks the user specifies it should try, with a preference first to a wired network, then to wireless. This package provides the architecture-dependent components of wicd. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes CVE-2012-2095.
