    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-5290:
    An issue was discovered in Ubuntu wpa_supplicant that resulted in loading of arbitrary shared objects,
    which allows a local unprivileged attacker to escalate privileges to the user that wpa_supplicant runs as
    (usually root).




    Membership in the netdev group or access to the dbus interface of wpa_supplicant allow an unprivileged
    user to specify an arbitrary path to a module to be loaded by the wpa_supplicant process; other escalation
    paths might exist.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
