  <title>dnsmasq: Denial of Service and DNS spoofing</title>
  <synopsis>
    Two vulnerabilities in dnsmasq might allow for a Denial of Service or
    spoofing of DNS replies.

  <background>
    <p>
    Dnsmasq is a lightweight and easily-configurable DNS forwarder and DHCP
    server.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <ul>
    <li>
    Dan Kaminsky of IOActive reported that dnsmasq does not randomize UDP
    source ports when forwarding DNS queries to a recursing DNS server
    (CVE-2008-1447).
    </li>
    <li>
    Carlos Carvalho reported that dnsmasq in the 2.43 version does not
    properly handle clients sending inform or renewal queries for unknown
    DHCP leases, leading to a crash (CVE-2008-3350).
    </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send spoofed DNS response traffic to dnsmasq,
    possibly involving generating queries via multiple vectors, and spoof
    DNS replies, which could e.g. lead to the redirection of web or mail
    traffic to malicious sites. Furthermore, an attacker could generate
    invalid DHCP traffic and cause a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All dnsmasq users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-dns/dnsmasq-2.45"</code>
  </resolution>
