  <background>
    <p>Dnsmasq is a lightweight and easily-configurable DNS forwarder and DHCP
      server.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>It was discovered that Dnsmasq, when configured with
      --server=&lt;address&gt;@<interface> or similar (e.g. through dbus),
        configured a fixed UDP port for all outgoing queries to the specified
        upstream DNS server.
      </interface>
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>An attacker, by sending malicious crafted DNS responses, could perform a
      DNS Cache Poisoning attack.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Dnsmasq users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-dns/dnsmasq-2.85"
    </code>
