CVE-2022-49153

A flaw was found in the WireGuard module in the Linux kernel. A memory leak can occur due to a missing memory release when the IPv6 (CONFIG_IPV6) support is disabled, potentially impacting system performance and possibly resulting in a denial of service.

The WireGuard module is not built in the Linux kernel as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7 and 8, so this vulnerability does not affect these Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions.

This issue has been fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.1 via RHSA-2022:8267 [1].
