CVE-2020-25683 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Thekelleys 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Dnsmasq 2025-11-04 7.1 HIGH 5.9 MEDIUM
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. A remote attacker, who can create valid DNS replies, could use this flaw 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 get_rdata() and cause a crash in dnsmasq, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
CVE-2020-25682 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Thekelleys 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Dnsmasq 2025-11-04 8.3 HIGH 8.1 HIGH
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.
CVE-2020-25681 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Thekelleys 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Dnsmasq 2025-11-04 8.3 HIGH 8.1 HIGH
A flaw was found in dnsmasq before version 2.83. 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.
CVE-2023-50387 8 Fedoraproject, Isc, Microsoft and 5 more 13 Fedora, Bind, Windows Server 2008 and 10 more 2025-11-04 N/A 7.5 HIGH
Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the "KeyTrap" issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG records.
CVE-2023-28450 1 Thekelleys 1 Dnsmasq 2025-11-03 N/A 7.5 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Dnsmasq before 2.90. The default maximum EDNS.0 UDP packet size was set to 4096 but should be 1232 because of DNS Flag Day 2020.
CVE-2022-0934 2 Redhat, Thekelleys 2 Enterprise Linux, Dnsmasq 2025-11-03 N/A 7.5 HIGH
A single-byte, non-arbitrary write/use-after-free flaw was found in dnsmasq. This flaw allows an attacker who sends a crafted packet processed by dnsmasq, potentially causing a denial of service.
CVE-2023-49441 1 Thekelleys 1 Dnsmasq 2025-03-14 N/A 7.5 HIGH
dnsmasq 2.9 is vulnerable to Integer Overflow via forward_query.
CVE-2021-45957 1 Thekelleys 1 Dnsmasq 2024-11-21 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Dnsmasq 2.86 has a heap-based buffer overflow in answer_request (called from FuzzAnswerTheRequest and fuzz_rfc1035.c). NOTE: the vendor's position is that CVE-2021-45951 through CVE-2021-45957 "do not represent real vulnerabilities, to the best of our knowledge.

CVE-2021-45955 1 Thekelleys 1 Dnsmasq 2024-11-21 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Dnsmasq 2.86 has a heap-based buffer overflow in resize_packet (called from FuzzResizePacket and fuzz_rfc1035.c) because of the lack of a proper bounds check upon pseudo header re-insertion. NOTE: the vendor's position is that CVE-2021-45951 through CVE-2021-45957 "do not represent real vulnerabilities, to the best of our knowledge." However, a contributor states that a security patch (mentioned in 016162.html) is needed
