A remote attacker could exploit this issue via a specially crafted DNS request to cause dnsmasq to crash, or potentially to obtain sensitive information from process memory.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.62-3+deb7u2.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2.72-3+deb8u1.
For the testing distribution (stretch) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your dnsmasq packages.");
