Bug description:
  Tavis Ormandy reports the following:

  Apparently you're not happy with me for discussing local privilege
  escalation on oss-security, so as you requested, here's what appears
  to be a problem in Ubuntu-specific code.

  I thought I'd take a quick look at D-Bus services you add in Ubuntu
  after the usb-creator bug, this one jumps out at me as incorrect:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/network-manager/ofono-format-cleanup/view/head:/debian/patches/add_ofono
  _settings_support.patch#L718

  Untested, but that really looks like you can call
  com.canonical.NMOfono.ReadImsiContexts(imsi:"../../../tmp/whatever"),
  and supply one of those glib keyfiles (i guess you just need to call
  it "gprs")?

  Tavis.
