Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Two vulnerabilities in dnsmasq might allow for a Denial of Service or |
19 |
spoofing of DNS replies. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Dnsmasq is a lightweight and easily-configurable DNS forwarder and DHCP |
25 |
server. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |
29 |
|
30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
1 net-dns/dnsmasq < 2.45 >= 2.45 |
34 |
|
35 |
Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
* Dan Kaminsky of IOActive reported that dnsmasq does not randomize |
39 |
UDP source ports when forwarding DNS queries to a recursing DNS |
40 |
server (CVE-2008-1447). |
41 |
|
42 |
* Carlos Carvalho reported that dnsmasq in the 2.43 version does not |
43 |
properly handle clients sending inform or renewal queries for unknown |
44 |
DHCP leases, leading to a crash (CVE-2008-3350). |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
A remote attacker could send spoofed DNS response traffic to dnsmasq, |
50 |
possibly involving generating queries via multiple vectors, and spoof |
51 |
DNS replies, which could e.g. lead to the redirection of web or mail |
52 |
traffic to malicious sites. Furthermore, an attacker could generate |
53 |
invalid DHCP traffic and cause a Denial of Service. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All dnsmasq users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/dnsmasq-2.45" |
67 |
