DNSSEC vulnerabilities in dnsmasq

Using the dnsmasq-full package for having DNSSEC validation is currently exposing you to two new vulnerabilities.

The dnsmasq version 2.90 currently addresses these issues, it is not yet updated on the openwrt's packages lists.

Thanks!

It must have just happened because I checked Pi-hole's interface recently but sure enough it is screaming "update" now.

Oh, I see now that it is not going to address this until they release pi-hole v6.
Which makes me sad because I use Cloudflare and DNSSEC

I think you misunderstood the comments: FTL 5.25 includes the dnssec fix.
