A network-adjacent attacker can send packets addressed to a host's VPN
tunnel address over the physical interface. Because Linux uses the weak
host model by default, the host replies, which lets the attacker infer
the tunnel address, confirm active connections and eventually inject
into the tunneled TCP stream.

No upstream kernel fix exists. Ubuntu has the fix deferred since
2019-12-13, Debian does not track it against the kernel, and Red Hat
scopes it to openvpn:

  https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-14899
  https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-14899

Record it unpatched so it stays visible rather than excluded.
