Dnsmasq and the seven flaws: Patch these nasty remote-control holes

Phil Endecott

In my quick look at the Google security blog I wasn't sure whether "remote" meant "from the outside internet" or "from another machine on the local network". For example, the DHCP bugs are surely only going to be exploitable by local machines, right? Do DNS bugs require that the attacker is controlling replies to DNS requests that I make? That would be tricky if my dnsmasq is forwarding to my ISPs DNS, for example.
