A flaw was found in dnsmasq before 2.83. A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the way dnsmasq extract names from DNS packets before validating them with DNSSEC data. An attacker on the network who can create valid DNS replies could use this flaw to cause an overflow with arbitrary data in a heap-allocated memory possibly executing code on the machine. The flaw is in the rfc1035.c:extract_name() function which writes data to the memory pointed by name assuming MAXDNAME*2 bytes are available in the buffer. However in some code execution paths it is possible extract_name() gets passed an offset from the base buffer thus reducing in practice the number of available bytes that can be written in the buffer. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

A flaw was found in dnsmasq before version 2.83. A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in dnsmasq when DNSSEC is enabled and before it validates the received DNS entries. This flaw allows a remote attacker who can create valid DNS replies to cause an overflow in a heap-allocated memory. This flaw is caused by the lack of length checks in rfc1035.c:extract_name() which could be abused to make the code execute memcpy() with a negative size in sort_rrset() and cause a crash in dnsmasq resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
