Synopsis:	Moderate: dnsmasq security update
Issue date:	2008-08-11
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-1447

The dnsmasq DNS resolver used a fixed source UDP port. This could have made
DNS spoofing attacks easier. dnsmasq has been updated to use random UDP
source ports, helping to make DNS spoofing attacks harder. (CVE-2008-1447)

SL 5.x
