dnsmasq is vulnerable to denial of service(DoS) attacks. A remote user could send specially crafted DNS packets to cause the add_pseudoheader() function to allocate memory that is never freed, consuming excessive memory on the target system which leads application to crash.This issue only affects configurations using one of the options: add-mac, add-cpe-id, or add-subnet.
