Short explanation

A heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in dnsmasq within the DHCPv6 option 39 FQDN decoder. An attacker on the local network can trigger this with a single crafted DHCPv6 packet.

Why does it matter?

It allows an attacker on the local network to exploit the DHCPv6 client hostname parser and read potentially sensitive memory data.

What should be done?

  • Monitor Red Hat security advisories
  • Apply relevant updates
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

Dnsmasq içinde DHCPv6 seçeneği 39 FQDN kod çözücüsünde bellek sınır dışı okuma zaafiyeti bulunmaktadır.

Yerel ağ üzerindeki bir saldırgan, tek bir DHCPv6 paketi ile bu zafiyeti tetikleyebilir.

Show the technical text from the sources

A flaw was found in dnsmasq. The DHCPv6 client hostname parser can read one byte past the end of a crafted FQDN option because it checks the next label length before confirming the pointer is still inside the option. An attacker on the local network can trigger this with a single DHCPv6 packet. The extra byte is not returned to the client or logged, and no crash has been demonstrated.
