+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.
+    
+Reachable before RRSIG validation
+(confirmed by the source comment at line 2125), so no valid
+DNSSEC signatures are needed.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-4890
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [ https://thekelleys.org.uk/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=7b151eb60609a0139474918222806f9bcfb4fe71 ]
