The remote host is running dnsmasq, a DNS and TFTP server.

The version of dnsmasq installed on the remote host reports itself as lower than 2.50. Such versions include a TFTP server that is reportedly affected by a number of issues:

  • A remote heap-overflow vulnerability exists because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently-sized memory buffer. (CVE-2009-2957)

  • A malformed TFTP packet can crash dnsmasq with a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2009-2958)
