{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-12969","details":"An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in dnsmasq's find_soa() function in src/rfc1035.c. When parsing NS section records, extract_name() is called with extrabytes=0, failing to validate that 10 additional bytes exist for fixed-length DNS record fields. A remote attacker controlling a DNS zone can exploit this via a crafted NXDOMAIN response to cause a 10-byte heap out-of-bounds read, potentially accessing stale data from prior transactions.","modified":"2026-09-14T17:01:53.177020533Z","published":"2026-06-23T14:17:22.790Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-12969"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-12969"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"dnsmasq","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/dnsmasq?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.89-1","2.90-1","2.90-2","2.90-3","2.90-4","2.90-4~deb12u1","2.90-4~deb12u2","2.90-5","2.90-6","2.90-7","2.91-1","2.91~test6-1","2.91~test9-1","2.92-1","2.92-1+exp1","2.92-1~exp1","2.92-2","2.92-3","2.92-4","2.92-5","2.92~rc1-1","2.92~rc3-1","2.93-1","2.93-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-12969.json"}},{"package":{"name":"dnsmasq","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/dnsmasq?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.91-1+deb13u2"}]}],"versions":["2.91-1","2.91-1+deb13u1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-12969.json"}},{"package":{"name":"dnsmasq","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/dnsmasq?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.93-1"}]}],"versions":["2.91-1","2.92-1","2.92-1+exp1","2.92-1~exp1","2.92-2","2.92-3","2.92-4","2.92-5","2.92~rc1-1","2.92~rc3-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-12969.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N"}]}
