arbitrary code, or a Denial of Service.

<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 &quot;&gt;=net-dns/dnsmasq-2.5.0&quot;</code>
</resolution>
