dnsmasq: DHCPv6 CLID buffer overflow in helper process

A heap buffer overflow was discovered in dnsmasq's DHCP script helper process. When processing DHCPv6 client identifiers CLIDs, the helper hex-encodes the raw CLID bytes into a fixed-size buffer without length validation. Since DHCPv6 CLIDs can be up to 65,535 bytes, a crafted DHCPv6 packet can...

dnsmasq: NSEC bitmap parsing infinite loop

A denial of service vulnerability was discovered in dnsmasq's DNSSEC validation. When parsing NSEC and NSEC3 bitmap records, the window iteration logic fails to account for the 2-byte window header when advancing through the bitmap data. A specially crafted DNS response with a zero-length bitmap...

dnsmasq: Broken ECS source validation bypass

A validation bypass was discovered in dnsmasq's RFC 7871 client subnet ECS handling. When verifying ECS source information in DNS responses, dnsmasq passes the OPT record length instead of the full packet length to the validation function.This causes all internal bounds checks to fail, completely...

dnsmasq: dnsmasq: heap buffer overflow in cache via NAME_ESCAPE expansion

A heap buffer overflow was discovered in dnsmasq's DNS cache. When processing DNS responses, dnsmasq expands certain characters into longer escape sequences, but the cache buffer is not sized to hold the expanded result. A specially crafted DNS response can overflow this buffer, potentially...

dnsmasq: RRSIG rdlen underflow leading to heap OOB read

A heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability was discovered in dnsmasq's DNSSEC validation. When processing RRSIG records, dnsmasq calculates the signature length by subtracting the fixed field size from the record's declared data length. A crafted RRSIG record with a data length smaller than the fixe...
