Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dnsmasq (affected versions not specified)
Description A flaw in the dnssec.c library can cause the dnsmasq service to enter an infinite loop. An attacker controlling any DNSSEC-signed zone can trigger this state by sending a single crafted response, which hangs the process and disables all DNS resolution for connected clients.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
