The version of dnsmasq installed on the remote host is prior to 2.83. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
Multiple remote buffer overflows in the DNSSEC implementation. (CVE-2020-25681, CVE-2020-25682, CVE-2020-25683, CVE-2020-25687)
A UDP DNS cache poisoning vulnerability. (CVE-2020-25684)
Usage of a known weak hashing function. (CVE-2020-25685)
An issue handling multiple simultaneous DNS queries. (CVE-2020-25686)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
