Description Adam Mariš 2017-11-07 11:59:10 EST
A vulnerability in DNSSEC implementation of Dnsmasq was found. Processing of wildcard synthesized NSEC records may result in improper validation for non-existance in some implementations of DNSSEC. While synthesis of NSEC records is allowed by RFC4592, the synthesized owner names should not be used in the NSEC processing.

Statement:

Versions of Dnsmasq shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux are built without DNSSEC support, so they are not affected by this issue.

Created dnsmasq tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1536903]
