regressions in certain environments related to issues with multiple
queries, and issues with retries. This update fixes the problem.

Original advisory details:

 Moshe Kol and Shlomi Oberman discovered that Dnsmasq incorrectly handled
 memory when sorting RRsets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause
 Dnsmasq to hang, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
 arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-25681, CVE-2020-25687)

 Moshe Kol and Shlomi Oberman discovered that Dnsmasq incorrectly handled
 extracting certain names. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause
 Dnsmasq to hang, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
 arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-25682, CVE-2020-25683)

 Moshe Kol and Shlomi Oberman discovered that Dnsmasq incorrectly
 implemented address/port checks. A remote attacker could use this issue to
 perform a cache poisoning attack. (CVE-2020-25684)

 Moshe Kol and Shlomi Oberman discovered that Dnsmasq incorrectly
 implemented query resource name checks. A remote attacker could use this
 issue to perform a cache poisoning attack. (CVE-2020-25685)

 Moshe Kol and Shlomi Oberman discovered that Dnsmasq incorrectly handled
 multiple query requests for the same resource name. A remote attacker could
 use this issue to perform a cache poisoning attack. (CVE-2020-25686)

 It was discovered that Dnsmasq incorrectly handled memory during DHCP
 response creation. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
 cause Dnsmasq to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This
 issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04
 LTS. (CVE-2019-14834)");
