A flow has been identified into dnssec.c library, causing an infinite loop to dnsmasq service. An attacker who controls any DNSSEC-signed zone can hang the dnsmasq process with a single crafted response, killing all DNS resolution for its clients...

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...
