MGASA-2021-0231 - Updated dnsmasq packages fix a security vulnerability Publication date: 08 Jun 2021 URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2021-0231.html Type: security Affected Mageia releases: 7, 8 CVE: 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 (CVE-2021-3448). This kind of configuration is the default when network-manager uses dnsmasq.
