    Package : dnsmasq
    Debian Bug : 784571

    The update for dnsmasq issued as DSA-3251-1 introduced a regression for
    the armel and armhf builds causing dnsmasq failing to start under
    certain configurations. Updated packages are now available to address
    this regression. Additionally dnsmasq was patched to handle the case
    were the libc headers defined SO_REUSEPORT, but is not supported by the
    running kernel. For reference, the original advisory text follows.

    Nick Sampanis discovered that dnsmasq, a small caching DNS proxy and
    DHCP/TFTP server, did not properly check the return value of the
    setup_reply() function called during a TCP connection, which is used
    then as a size argument in a function which writes data on the client's connection. 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+deb7u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your dnsmasq packages.
