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.
