Quick fix

go get github.com/cilium/cilium@v1.14.8

Details

### Impact

In Cilium clusters with WireGuard enabled and traffic matching Layer 7 policies:

- Traffic that should be WireGuard-encrypted is sent unencrypted between a node's Envoy proxy and pods on other nodes. - Traffic that should be WireGuard-encrypted is sent unencrypted between a node's DNS proxy and pods on other nodes.

### Patches

This issue affects:

* In native routing mode (`routingMode=native`): * Cilium v1.14 versions before v1.14.8 * Cilium v1.15 versions before v1.15.2 * In tunneling mode (`routingMode=tunnel`): * Cilium v1.14 versions before v1.14.4 * Cilium v1.14.4 if `encryption.wireguard.encapsulate` is set to `false` (default).

This issue has been resolved in:

* In native routing mode (`routingMode=native`): * Cilium v1.14.8 * Cilium v1.15.2 * In tunneling mode (`routingMode=tunnel`): * Cilium v1.14.4. **NOTE** `encryption.wireguard.encapsulate` must be set to `true`. ### Workarounds
