Simon Kelley reports:

    There are broadly two sets of problems. The first is subtle errors
    in dnsmasq's protections against the chronic weakness of the DNS
    protocol to cache-poisoning attacks; the Birthday attack, Kaminsky,
    etc.[...]
  

    the second set of errors is a good old fashioned buffer overflow in
    dnsmasq's DNSSEC code. If DNSSEC validation is enabled, an
    installation is at risk.
