Summary

dnsmasqs extract_name() function can be abused to cause a heap buffer overflow, allowing an attacker to inject false DNS cache entries, which could result in DNS lookups to redirect to an attacker-controlled IP address, or to cause a DoS.

Does this affect you?

Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when a vendor you run ships something exploited.
