[Simon Kelley <simon () thekelleys org uk>]

A set of serious security vulnerabilities for dnsmasq have been released
today.

These include remote DoS and possibly code execution, and at least some
apply to essentially every non-ancient dnsmasq release.

Most of these were found by Google and their writeup is here.
