CVE-2024-5290

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=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. • https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/2067613 https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-6945-1 https://snyk.io/blog/abusing-ubuntu-root-privilege-escalation • CWE-427: Uncontrolled Search Path Element •
