Does this affect you?

It affects FreeBSD. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.19%, higher than 8% of scored CVEs.

The IPv6 UDP send path for unconnected sockets did not apply the jail policy of rewriting a loopback destination address to the jail's primary IPv6 address. A process in a classic (non-VNET) jail can send UDP datagrams to services listening on the host's IPv6 loopback address, bypassing jail network isolation.
