Detail
| The tftp_request function in tftp.c in dnsmasq before 2.50, when --enable-tftp is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a TFTP read (aka RRQ) request with a malformed blksize option. |

| Title: | DSA-1876-1 dnsmasq -- buffer overflow | ||
| Description: | Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the TFTP component of dnsmasq. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2009-2957 A buffer overflow in TFTP processing may enable arbitrary code execution to attackers which are permitted to use the TFTP service. CVE-2009-2958 Malicious TFTP clients may crash dnsmasq, leading to denial of service. The old stable distribution is not affected by these problems. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 2.45-1+lenny1. For the unstable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 2.50-1. We recommend that you upgrade your dnsmasq packages. | ||

| Title: | USN-827-1 -- dnsmasq vulnerabilities | ||
| Description: | IvAin Arce, Pablo HernAin Jorge, Alejandro Pablo Rodriguez, MartA­n Coco, Alberto SoliAto Testa and Pablo Annetta discovered that Dnsmasq did not properly validate its input when processing TFTP requests for files with long names. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Dnsmasq runs as the "dnsmasq" user by default on Ubuntu. Steve Grubb discovered that Dnsmasq could be made to dereference a NULL pointer when processing certain TFTP requests. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service by sending a crafted TFTP request | ||
