Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Fix NSEC bitmap parsing infinite loop. CVE-2026-4890
Report from Royce M <royce@xchglabs.com>.
Location: dnssec.c:1290-1306, dnssec.c:1450-1463
The bitmap window iteration advances by p[1] instead of p[1]+2 (missing the 2-byte window header). With bitmap_length=0, both rdlen and p are
unchanged, causing an infinite loop and dnsmasq stops responding to all queries.
The same code accesses p[2] after only checking rdlen >= 2 without verifying p[1] >= 1, causing OOB reads at 6 locations.
Both bugs are reachable before RRSIG validation (confirmed by the source comment at line 2125), so no valid DNSSEC signatures are needed.
