USN-5395-1 fixed vulnerabilities in networkd-dispatcher. Unfortunately that update was incomplete and could introduce a regression. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that networkd-dispatcher incorrectly handled internal scripts. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a race condition, escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-29799, CVE-2022-29800)
