Project Description

Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS and (optionally) DHCP to a small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for network booting of diskless machines.

2.43

This release fixes the DNS spoofing vulnerabilities announced in CERT VU#800113. It adds source port randomization for communication with upstream nameservers and replaces the C library PRNG with stronger code. It makes failure to drop root privileges a hard error (previous versions would log the error and continue, running as root.) Other changes include an update to avoid triggering Linux kernel messages about an out-of-date capabilities ABI, support for NAPTR records, and RFC 5107 server-id-override.
