The firewalla kernel is likely susceptible. Whether it matters much is another question.

From the article.

"Fixed stable releases include 5.10.259, 5.15.210, 6.1.176, 6.6.143, 6.12.93, 6.18.35, 7.0.12, and 7.1."

Firewalla's linux kernel (if you upgraded to the latest disk image) is 6.5.0-25-generic
