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 the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 2.80-1+deb10u1.
