Security flaws in a widely used DNS software package could allow attackers to send users to malicious websites or to remotely hijack their devices
Millions of devices could be vulnerable to Domain Name System (DNS) cache poisoning and remote code execution attacks due to seven security flaws in dnsmasq, DNS forwarding and caching software commonly found in smartphones, desktops, servers, routers and other Internet of Things devices, according to Israel-based security company JSOF, which discovered the security holes.
Collectively dubbed DNSpooq, the vulnerabilities in the open-source utility affect a variety of devices and firmware, including those made by some of the world’s leading tech companies.

Researchers at Israel-based boutique cybersecurity consultancy JSOF this week disclosed the details of seven potentially serious DNS-related vulnerabilities that could expose millions of devices to various types of attacks.
The vulnerabilities, collectively tracked as DNSpooq, impact Dnsmasq, a widely used piece of open source software designed to provide DNS, DHCP, router advertisement and network boot capabilities for small networks. Its DNS subsystem “provides a local DNS server for the network, with forwarding of all query types to upstream recursive DNS servers and caching of common record types.”
The software is mainly written and maintained by Simon Kelley, who has informed users about the availability of patches. The vulnerability disclosure process began in August 2020 and several impacted vendors told customers that they are working on address the issues.
