Description Martin Prpič 2015-04-27 12:16:26 EDT
The following flaw was found in dnsmasq:

Dnsmasq does not properly check the return value of the setup_reply() function called during a tcp connection (by the tcp_request() function). This return value is then used as a size argument in a function which writes data on the client's connection. This may lead, upon successful exploitation, to reading the heap memory of dnsmasq.

This issue is fixed in dnsmasq-2.73rc4:
