"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2021:0155 advisory.
The dnsmasq packages contain Dnsmasq, a lightweight DNS (Domain Name Server) forwarder and DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) server.
Security Fix(es):
* dnsmasq: loose address/port check in reply_query() makes forging replies easier for an off-path attacker
(CVE-2020-25684)
* dnsmasq: loose query name check in reply_query() makes forging replies easier for an off-path attacker
(CVE-2020-25685)
* dnsmasq: multiple queries forwarded for the same name makes forging replies easier for an off-path
attacker (CVE-2020-25686)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
