EulerOS Virtualization 2.11.1 : dnsmasq (EulerOS-SA-2024-1713)
high Nessus Plugin ID 198085
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.Description
According to the versions of the dnsmasq package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol (in RFC 4033, 4034, 4035, 6840, and related RFCs) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via one or more DNSSEC responses, aka the 'KeyTrap' issue. One of the concerns is that, when there is a zone with many DNSKEY and RRSIG records, the protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG records.(CVE-2023-50387)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization dnsmasq security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
