n/dnsmasq-2.84-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
+ This update fixes bugs and remotely exploitable security issues:
+ Use the values of --min-port and --max-port in outgoing
+ TCP connections to upstream DNS servers.
+ Fix a remote buffer overflow problem in the DNSSEC code. Any
+ dnsmasq with DNSSEC compiled in and enabled is vulnerable to this,
+ referenced by CVE-2020-25681, CVE-2020-25682, CVE-2020-25683
+ CVE-2020-25687.
+ Be sure to only accept UDP DNS query replies at the address
+ from which the query was originated. This keeps as much entropy
+ in the {query-ID, random-port} tuple as possible, to help defeat
+ cache poisoning attacks. Refer: CVE-2020-25684.
+ Use the SHA-256 hash function to verify that DNS answers
+ received are for the questions originally asked. This replaces
+ the slightly insecure SHA-1 (when compiled with DNSSEC) or
+ the very insecure CRC32 (otherwise). Refer: CVE-2020-25685.
+ Handle multiple identical near simultaneous DNS queries better.
+ Previously, such queries would all be forwarded
+ independently. This is, in theory, inefficent but in practise
+ not a problem, _except_ that is means that an answer for any
+ of the forwarded queries will be accepted and cached.
+ An attacker can send a query multiple times, and for each repeat,
+ another {port, ID} becomes capable of accepting the answer he is
+ sending in the blind, to random IDs and ports. The chance of a
+ succesful attack is therefore multiplied by the number of repeats
+ of the query. The new behaviour detects repeated queries and
+ merely stores the clients sending repeats so that when the
+ first query completes, the answer can be sent to all the
+ clients who asked. Refer: CVE-2020-25686.
