A flaw was found in dnsmasq. A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the way RRSets are sorted before validating with DNSSEC data. An attacker on the network, who can forge DNS replies such as that they are accepted as valid, could use this flaw to cause a buffer overflow with arbitrary data in a heap memory segment, possibly executing code on the machine. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

Mitigation

The only known way to mitigate this flaw is to disable DNSSEC altogether, by removing the --dnssec command line option or the dnssec option from dnsmasq configuration file.
