A flaw was found in dnsmasq before version 2.83. When getting a reply from a forwarded query dnsmasq checks in the forward.c:reply_query() if the reply destination address/port is used by the pending forwarded queries. However it does not use the address/port to retrieve the exact forwarded query substantially reducing the number of attempts an attacker on the network would have to perform to forge a reply and get it accepted by dnsmasq. This issue contrasts with RFC5452 which specifies a query's attributes that all must be used to match a reply. This flaw allows an attacker to perform a DNS Cache Poisoning attack. If chained with CVE-2020-25685 or CVE-2020-25686 the attack complexity of a successful attack is reduced. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity.
