The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:22.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pptp-linux package and not the pptp-linux package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The WireGuard client 0.5.3 on Windows insecurely configures the operating system and firewall such that traffic to a local network that uses non-RFC1918 IP addresses is blocked. This allows an adversary to trick the victim into blocking IP traffic to selected IP addresses and services even while the VPN is enabled. NOTE: the tunnelcrack.mathyvanhoef.com website uses this CVE ID to refer more generally to "LocalNet attack resulting in the blocking of traffic" rather than to only WireGuard.
