    Description:

    This NetworkManager-kde4 update fixes the following security and non
    security issues:

    - Fixed a long standing security issue. This makes knetworkmanager probe
    the RADIUS server for a CA certificate subject and hash if no CA
    certificate is specified. knetworkmanager then stores this data and send
    it to NetworkManager for it to do a network validation in the absence of
    a real certificate (bsc#726349)

    - Disabled the loading by default of the NetworkManager plasma applet
    since it doesn't work.
    - Fixed a crash due to the use of an uninitialized variable in the plasma
    applet in case someone runs it manually (bsc#663413)

    Please reboot the system after installing this update.
