-Subject: [PATCH] Fix infinite retries in strict-order mode.
-
- If all configured dns servers return refused in
- response to a query; dnsmasq will end up in an infinite loop
- retransmitting the dns query resulting into high CPU load.
- Problem is caused by the dns refuse retransmission logic which does
- not check for the end of a dns server list iteration in strict mode.
- Having one configured dns server returning a refused reply easily
- triggers this problem in strict order mode. This was introduced in
- 9396752c115b3ab733fa476b30da73237e12e7ba
-
- Thanks to Hans Dedecker <dedeckeh@gmail.com> for spotting this
- and the initial patch.

-Subject: [PATCH] DNSSEC fix for wildcard NSEC records. CVE-2017-15107
- applies.
-
-It's OK for NSEC records to be expanded from wildcards,
-but in that case, the proof of non-existence is only valid
-starting at the wildcard name, *.<domain> NOT the name expanded
-from the wildcard. Without this check it's possible for an
-attacker to craft an NSEC which wrongly proves non-existence
-in a domain which includes a wildcard for NSEC.
