A bug has been found in dnsmasq 2.60 that can cause crashes. This is
configuration dependent: it either crashes frequently or not at all. The
configuration required is one which allows dnsmasq to receive DHCPINFORM
requests for which there is no valid dhcp-range. This is rare.
As this bug isn't affecting many people, and a 2.61 release is weeks
rather than months away, I don't propose to make a release specifically
to fix it. I've put the patch at
http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-2.60.patch
and distribution package maintainers might like to consider using it.
I've just uploaded 2.60-2, with this fix, to Debian.
Cheers,
Simon.
