Bug 782130 – <net-dns/dnsmasq-2.85: fixed outgoing port used when --server is used with an interface name (CVE-2021-3448)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description John Helmert III 2021-04-11 19:12:01 UTC]

CVE-2021-3448:

A flaw was found in dnsmasq in versions before 2.85. When configured to use a specific server for a given network interface, dnsmasq uses a fixed port while forwarding queries. An attacker on the network, able to find the outgoing port used by dnsmasq, only needs to guess the random transmission ID to forge a reply and get it accepted by dnsmasq. This flaw makes a DNS Cache Poisoning attack much easier. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity.


Fixed in 2.85, please bump.
