-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-1357 2013-01-23 15:05:33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : dnsmasq Product : Fedora 18 Version : 2.65 Release : 4.fc18 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: From dnsmasq's CHANGELOG: Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed address, but via a banned interface. This change is only active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK) on other platforms. - dnsmasq now answers local queries if --except-interface lo is used (libvirt's use case). - dnsmasq is now built with $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, $RPM_LD_FLAGS explicitly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Jan 31 2013 Tomas Hozza <thozza@redhat.com> - 2.65-4 - Handle locally-routed DNS Queries (#904940) * Thu Jan 24 2013 Tomas Hozza <thozza@redhat.com> - 2.65-3 - build dnsmasq with $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, $RPM_LD_FLAGS explicitly (#903362) * Tue Jan 22 2013 Tomas Hozza <thozza@redhat.com> - 2.65-2 - Fix for CVE-2013-0198 (checking of TCP connection interfaces) (#901555) * Sat Dec 15 2012 Tomas Hozza <thozza@redhat.com> - 2.65-1 - new version 2.65 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #894486 - CVE-2013-0198 dnsmasq: Incomplete fix for the CVE-2012-3411 issue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894486 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
