"The remote host is running dnsmasq, a DHCP and DNS server.

The version of dnsmasq installed on the remote host contains an
off-by-one boundary error when reading a DHCP lease file. An attacker
can leverage this issue to cause the application to crash or possible
execute arbitrary code the next time it is restarted by sending a long
hostname and client-id when requesting a DHCP lease.

In addition, the application only checks the 16-bit ID against current
queries when receiving DNS replies. An attacker may be able to send a
flood of DNS replies and poison the DNS cache.");
