A vulnerability was found in the implementation of DNSSEC in Dnsmasq up to and including 2.78. Wildcard synthesized NSEC records could be improperly interpreted to prove the non-existence of hostnames that actually exist.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE- SU-2019:14190-1 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in the implementation of DNSSEC in Dnsmasq up to and including 2.78. Wildcard     synthesized NSEC records could be improperly interpreted to prove the non-existence of hostnames that     actually exist. (CVE-2017-15107)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the dnsmasq packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A vulnerability was found in the implementation of     DNSSEC in Dnsmasq up to and including 2.78. Wildcard     synthesized NSEC records could be improperly     interpreted to prove the non-existence of hostnames     that actually exist.(CVE-2017-15107)

  - A flaw was found in dnsmasq before version 2.83. When     getting a reply from a forwarded query, dnsmasq checks     in forward.c:reply_query(), which is the forwarded     query that matches the reply, by only using a weak hash     of the query name. Due to the weak hash (CRC32 when     dnsmasq is compiled without DNSSEC, SHA-1 when it is)     this flaw allows an off-path attacker to find several     different domains all having the same hash,     substantially reducing the number of attempts they     would have to perform to forge a reply and get it     accepted by dnsmasq. This is in contrast with RFC5452,     which specifies that the query name is one of the     attributes of a query that must be used to match a     reply. This flaw could be abused to perform a DNS Cache     Poisoning attack. If chained with CVE-2020-25684 the     attack complexity of a successful attack is reduced.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     integrity.(CVE-2020-25685)

  - A flaw was found in dnsmasq before version 2.83. When     receiving a query, dnsmasq does not check for an     existing pending request for the same name and forwards     a new request. By default, a maximum of 150 pending     queries can be sent to upstream servers, so there can     be at most 150 queries for the same name. This flaw     allows an off-path attacker on the network to     substantially reduce the number of attempts that it     would have to perform to forge a reply and have it     accepted by dnsmasq. This issue is mentioned in the     'Birthday Attacks' section of RFC5452. If chained with     CVE-2020-25684, the attack complexity of a successful     attack is reduced. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data integrity.(CVE-2020-25686)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4924-1 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in the implementation of DNSSEC in Dnsmasq up to and including 2.78. Wildcard     synthesized NSEC records could be improperly interpreted to prove the non-existence of hostnames that     actually exist. (CVE-2017-15107)

  - Improper bounds checking in Dnsmasq before 2.76 allows an attacker controlled DNS server to send large DNS     packets that result in a read operation beyond the buffer allocated for the packet, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2017-14491. (CVE-2019-14513)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the dnsmasq packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
