Description Adam Mariš 2017-11-07 16:59:10 UTC 
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.

Comment 3 Doran Moppert 2018-01-22 01:41:40 UTC 
Statement:

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