"The dns-root-data update to 2017072601~deb8u2 broke dnsmasq's init
script, making dnsmasq no longer start when dns-root-data was
installed.

This update fixes dnsmasq's parsing of dns-root-data.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version
2.72-3+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your dnsmasq packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
