[GLSA-200504-03] Dnsmasq: Poisoning and Denial of Service vulnerabilities |

Dnsmasq: Poisoning and Denial of Service vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200504-03 (Dnsmasq: Poisoning and Denial of Service vulnerabilities) Dnsmasq does not properly detect that DNS replies received do not correspond to any DNS query that was sent. Rob Holland of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit team also discovered two off-by-one buffer overflows that could crash DHCP lease files parsing. Impact A remote attacker could send malicious answers to insert arbitrary DNS data into the Dnsmasq cache. These attacks would in turn help an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle and site impersonation attacks. The buffer overflows might permit a possible hacker on the local network to crash Dnsmasq upon restart. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
