-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-12598 2012-08-23 22:49:48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : dnsmasq Product : Fedora 17 Version : 2.63 Release : 1.fc17 URL : http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/ Summary : A lightweight DHCP/caching DNS server Description : Dnsmasq is 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 for network booting of diskless machines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: 2.63 release -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Aug 23 2012 Douglas Schilling Landgraf <dougsland@redhat.com> - 2.63-1 - Use .tar.gz compression, in upstream site there is no .lzma anymore - New version 2.63 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #838528 - CVE-2012-3411 dnsmasq: When run under libvirt open DNS proxy (reachable also out of the virtual network set for the guest domain) is created [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838528 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
