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.

Summary
  • (es) Se descubrió un problema en Ubuntu wpa_supplicant que resultó en la carga de objetos compartidos arbitrarios, lo que permite a un atacante local sin privilegios escalar privilegios al usuario con el que se ejecuta wpa_supplicant (generalmente root). La membresía en el grupo netdev o el acceso a la interfaz dbus de wpa_supplicant permiten a un usuario sin privilegios especificar una ruta arbitraria a un módulo que el proceso wpa_supplicant cargará; podrían existir otras vías de escalada.
