  wireless network connection active at all times.

  It was found that NetworkManager did not properly enforce PolicyKit
  settings controlling the permissions to configure wireless network sharing.
  A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to bypass intended PolicyKit
  restrictions, allowing them to enable wireless network sharing.
