CVE-2026-93006medium6.8

Dnsmasq: dnsmasq: tftp prefetch cache keyed on stale heap pointer serves wrong file content

Impact

A flaw in dnsmasq's TFTP server can serve wrong file contents due to a stale heap pointer. An attacker on the local network may cause a client to receive previously cached data. The vulnerability affects Red Hat products including Enterprise Linux and OpenShift Container Platform.

Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.

What to do

The following measures reduce risk:

If TFTP is not required, do not enable it. Remove --enable-tftp from the dnsmasq configuration.
If TFTP is required, restrict it with --tftp-interface=<interface> and avoid running TFTP-only instances that serve untrusted clients on the same network.
Compile without TFTP support using COPTS=-DNO_TFTP if TFTP is not needed.

Original source description

A flaw was found in dnsmasq. The TFTP server can serve the wrong file contents because a recently used transfer cache is not invalidated when a transfer finishes. An attacker on the local network who can request a TFTP file may cause a later client to receive previously cached data instead of the requested file. In PXE network-boot environments this can substitute attacker-chosen boot content for a victim machine.
