(CVE-2016-4476) or through local configuration change over the wpa_supplicant
control interface (CVE-2016-4477), the resulting configuration file may prevent
the wpa_supplicant from starting when the updated file is used. In addition, it
may be possible to load a local library file and execute code from there with
the same privileges under which the wpa_supplicant process runs.");
