Fix buffer overflow in struct bigname. CVE-2026-2291
All buffers capable of holding a domain name should be
at least MAXDNAME*2 + 1 bytes long, where MAXDNAME is the maximum
size of a domain name. The accounts for the trailing zero and the
fact that some characters are escaped in the internal representation
of a domain name in dnsmasq.
The declaration of struct bigname get this wrong, with the effect
that a remote attacker capable of asking DNS queries or answering DNS
queries can cause a large OOB write in the heap.
This was first spotted by Andrew S. Fasano.

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.

Fix buffer overflow in helper.c with large CLIDs. CVE-2026-4892
Bug reported bt Royce M <royce@xchglabs.com>
Location: helper.c:265-270
DHCPv6 CLIDs can be up to 65535 bytes. When --dhcp-script is configured,
the helper hex-encodes raw CLID bytes via sprintf("%.2x") into daemon->packet (5131 bytes).
A 1000-byte CLID writes ~3000 bytes. The helper process retains root privileges.
Note: log6_packet() correctly caps CLID to 100 bytes for logging, but the helper code path was missed.

Bug report from Royce M <royce@xchglabs.com>
Location: forward.c:713, edns0.c:421
With --add-subnet enabled, process_reply() passes the OPT record

All internal bounds checks fail, and the function always returns 1.
ECS source validation per RFC 7871 Section 9.2 is completely bypassed.

Fix buffer overflow vulnerability in extract_addresses() CVE-2026-5172
Thanks to Hugo Martinez Ray for spotting this.
The value of rdlen for an RR can be a lie, allowing the
call to extract_name() at rfc1025.c:952 to advance the value of p1
past the calculated end of the record. The makes the calculation
of bytes remaining in the RR underflow to a huge number and results
in a massive heap OOB read and certain crash.
