[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq-2.60 crash.

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.
