Updated dnsmasq packages fix security vulnerabilities

CVE-2017-13704: Dnsmasq could be made to crash on a large DNS query. A DNS query received by UDP which exceeds 512 bytes (or the EDNS0 packet size, if different.) is enough to cause SIGSEGV.

CVE-2017-14491: A heap buffer overflow was found in dnsmasq in the code responsible for building DNS replies. An attacker could send crafted DNS packets to dnsmasq which would cause it to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2017-14492: A heap buffer overflow was discovered in dnsmasq in the IPv6 router advertisement (RA) handling code. An attacker on the local network segment could send crafted RAs to dnsmasq which would cause it to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected configurations using one of these options: enable-ra, ra-only, slaac, ra-names, ra-advrouter, or ra-stateless.

CVE-2017-14493: A stack buffer overflow was found in dnsmasq in the DHCPv6 code. An attacker on the local network could send a crafted DHCPv6 request to dnsmasq which would cause it to a crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2017-14494: An information leak was found in dnsmasq in the DHCPv6 relay code. An attacker on the local network could send crafted DHCPv6 packets to dnsmasq causing it to forward the contents of process memory, potentially leaking sensitive data.

CVE-2017-14495: A memory exhaustion flaw was found in dnsmasq in the EDNS0 code. An attacker could send crafted DNS packets which would trigger memory allocations which would never be freed, leading to unbounded memory consumption and eventually a crash. This issue only affected configurations using one of the options: add-mac, add-cpe-id, or add-subnet.

CVE-2017-14496: An integer underflow flaw leading to a buffer over-read was found in dnsmasq in the EDNS0 code. An attacker could send crafted DNS packets to dnsmasq which would cause it to crash. This issue only affected configurations using one of the options: add-mac, add-cpe-id, or add-subnet.

Security update for dnsmasq

This update for dnsmasq fixes the following issues.

Remedy the following security issues:

  • CVE-2017-14491: 2 byte heap based overflow. [bsc#1060354]
  • CVE-2017-14492: heap based overflow. [bsc#1060355]
  • CVE-2017-14493: stack based overflow. [bsc#1060360]
  • CVE-2017-14494: DHCP - info leak. [bsc#1060361]
  • CVE-2017-14495: DNS - OOM DoS. [bsc#1060362]
  • CVE-2017-14496: DNS - DoS Integer underflow. [bsc#1060364]
  • Prevent a man-in-the-middle attack (bsc#972164, fate#321175).

Furthermore, the following issues have been fixed:

  • Fix DHCP relaying, broken in 2.76 and 2.77.
  • Update to version 2.78 (fate#321175, fate#322030, bsc#1035227).
  • Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures (fate#322030).
  • Drop PrivateDevices=yes which breaks logging (bsc#902511, bsc#904537)
  • Build with support for DNSSEC (fate#318323, bsc#908137).

Please note that this update brings a (small) potential incompatibility in the handling of 'basename' in --pxe-service. Please read the CHANGELOG and the documentation if you are using this option.
