description

Zephyr WireGuard versions 4.4.0 through 4.4.2 can accept an unauthenticated update to a configured peer endpoint. An attacker able to reach the WireGuard UDP listener can redirect tunnel traffic and disrupt connectivity when the peer has no active session or valid handshake.

mitigation

Upgrade Zephyr to version 4.5.0. Until upgraded, disable WireGuard where it is not required or restrict network access to its UDP listener to trusted peers.

fixed in 4.5.0
