Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for network-manager.

CVE-2026-10805[0]:
| A flaw was found in NetworkManager. This local privilege escalation
| vulnerability exists in NetworkManager's dhclient backend when
| processing malformed Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) URLs. A
| local user can exploit this flaw to escalate privileges by
| triggering a script via a crafted MUD URL, provided an administrator
| has explicitly configured NetworkManager to use dhclient. This issue
| does not affect default configurations of NetworkManager.

The only reference here is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2484613
but given that NM defaults to the internal DHCP client since ages and
forky doesn't even include dhclient anymore, this seems really harmless 

Agreed. I will close the bug report once a fix lands upstream (or will close it if none is provided) but I don't plan any backports or stable uploads.
