dnsmasq is vulnerable to Denial of Service. The vulnerability due to KeyTrap issue when dealing with a zone that contains numerous DNSKEY (DNS Key) and RRSIG (Resource Record Signature) records, the protocol specification implies that an algorithm must evaluate all combinations of DNSKEY and RRSIG records which leads to excessive CPU consumption and degraded performance or unresponsiveness.
