Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wireguard: socket: free skb in send6 when ipv6 is disabled<br />
<br />
I got a memory leak report:<br />
<br />
unreferenced object 0xffff8881191fc040 (size 232):<br />
comm "kworker/u17:0", pid 23193, jiffies 4295238848 (age 3464.870s)<br />
hex dump (first 32 bytes):<br />

<br />
In function wg_socket_send_buffer_as_reply_to_skb() or wg_socket_send_<br />
buffer_to_peer(), the semantics of send6() is required to free skb. But<br />
when CONFIG_IPV6 is disable, kfree_skb() is missing. This patch adds it<br />
to fix this bug.
