Moshe Kol and Shlomi Oberman of JSOF discovered several vulnerabilities in dnsmasq, a small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server. They could result in denial of service, cache poisoning or the execution of arbitrary code.
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.76-5+deb9u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your dnsmasq packages.
For the detailed security status of dnsmasq please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/dnsmasq
