+Subject: [PATCH] Fix buffer overlow in log_query()
+
+The addition of "(not supported)" to logs of DS and DNSKEY replies
+overflows the buffer used to construct the string.
+
+Re-arrange things to avoid this, and add checks to avoid the same  problem
+if the logging calls change in the future.
+
+Thanks to Yiwei Hou for finding this.
+
+The problem exists is DNSSEC is enabled and query logging is also
+enabled. The overwrite is of bounded length and the bytes
+written are not in control of an attacker, so this is not considered
+a likely remote-execution vector.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-12725
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://thekelleys.org.uk/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=36d081e37477027fd721fea498f3760f529034ad]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- dnsmasq 2.90 predates upstream commit 9e67099ce73c, which added
+  F_QUERY to the log_query() type-string exclusion mask. Preserve the
+  existing 2.90 F_QUERY logging behavior and add only the
+  security-relevant F_KEYTAG and F_RR exclusions.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 36d081e37477027fd721fea498f3760f529034ad)
