+ arbitrary code, or a Denial of Service.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP
+ server. It includes support for Trivial FTP (TFTP).
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the TFTP functionality
+ included in Dnsmasq:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Pablo Jorge and Alberto Solino
+ discovered a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-2957).</li>
+ <li>An
+ anonymous researcher reported a NULL pointer reference
+ (CVE-2009-2958).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker in the local network could exploit these
+ vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted TFTP requests to a machine
+ running Dnsmasq, possibly resulting in the remote execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the daemon, or a
+ Denial of Service. NOTE: The TFTP server is not enabled by default.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ You can disable the TFTP server either at buildtime by not enabling the
+ "tftp" USE flag, or at runtime. Make sure "--enable-tftp" is not set in
+ the DNSMASQ_OPTS variable in the /etc/conf.d/dnsmasq file and
+ "enable-tftp" is not set in /etc/dnsmasq.conf, either of which would
+ enable TFTP support if it is compiled in.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Dnsmasq users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-dns/dnsmasq-2.5.0"</code>
+ </resolution>
