The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

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.

The weakness was released 04/07/2014 (Website). The advisory is shared at launchpad.net. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2012-2095 since 04/04/2012.
