RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: dnsmasq-2.79-9.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.`dnsmasq` now correctly handles the non-recursive DNS queries Previously, `dnsmasq` forwarded all the non-recursive queries to an upstream server, which led to different responses. With this update, the non-recursive queries to local known names, such as DHCP host lease names or hosts read from the `/etc/hosts` file, are handled by `dnsmasq` and are not forwarded to an upstream server. As a result, the same response as to recursive queries to known names is returned.

Description Petr Menšík 2019-04-17 16:05:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
When checking Fedora bug #1647464, I discovered recent dnsmasq does not reply correctly to DNS queries without recursion desired bit set.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnsmasq-2.79-4.el8+7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl restart dnsmasq
2. dig @localhost +norec localhost4.localdomain4
3.

Actual results:

Additional info:
This issue is not present in 2.76 version in RHEL7, so it makes regression after upgrade. It can break especially setups from other recursive resolvers querying dnsmasq, because they do that always without recursion. Current dnsmasq forwards all non-recursive queries to upstream server, even when it serves correct answer with rd bit set.
