Update to newer upstream version - 2.45. Version of dnsmasq previously shipped in Fedora 9 did not properly drop privileges, causing it to run as root instead of intended user nobody. Issue was caused by a bug in kernel-headers used in build environment of the original packages.
(#454415) New upstream version also adds DNS query source port randomization, mitigating DNS spoofing attacks. (CVE-2008-1447)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
