Public bug reported:
[Impact]
wireguard contains an uninitialised netlink member which could lead to
unreliable operation. wireguard-linux-compat is maintained to match the
upstream version which is under security review and cleanup keeping in
sync with the maintainers backport provides the highest reliability and
security for wireguard users.
Separately, the previous update was not built for -security but includes
kernel compatibility which requires it be promoted to -security. This
update has been built in the kernel security PPA and is valid for
-security.
[Test Case]
Do a sanity test run using the -proposed packages and see if everything
still works as expected.
[Regression Potential]
Low. This is the version in continuous and active use in the development
release, it is also the version applied upstream.
[Other Info]
The upstream maintainer of this feature is only committed to support of
the upstream version of the compatibility code that is contained in
Ubuntu.
===
Resync our backports of wireguard and wireguard-linux-compat in focal,
eoan, and bionic. Contains various compatibility fixes for older
kernels.
Note these will also want to go via the security PPA so they can be
released to eoan-security. This is to ensure the previous update is
available to -security only users.
