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. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity."], "mitigation": {"lang": "en:us", "value": "The flaw can be prevented by removing `--server=<address>@<interface>` option or by removing the directive `server=<address>@<interface>`. If dnsmasq is being run through NetworkManager, please be aware that NetworkManager automatically configures dnsmasq to use the `server=<address>@<interface>` directive, thus in this case the only way to prevent the flaw is to remove `dns=dnsmasq` from /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file.\nIf the `server=<address>@<interface>` must be kept active, the impact of this flaw can be reduced by disabling the dnsmasq cache by adding `--cache-size=0` when calling dnsmasq or by adding a line with `cache-size=0` to the dnsmasq configuration file (/etc/dnsmasq.conf by default). If dnsmasq is being run through NetworkManager, create a new file in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ and add `cache-size=0` to it.\nBy disabling the cache, you may experience a performance loss in your environment due to all DNS queries being forwarded to the upstream servers. Please evaluate if the mitigation is appropriate for the system\u2019s environment before applying."}, "name": "CVE-2021-3448", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "dnsmasq", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "dnsmasq", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "dnsmasq", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:openstack:10", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "dnsmasq", "product_name": "Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 (Newton)"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:openstack:13", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "dnsmasq", "product_name": "Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 (Queens)"}], "public_date": "2021-03-12T00:00:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2021-3448\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-3448"], "threat_severity": "Moderate"}
