    http://freshmeat.net/projects/dnsmasq/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release fixes the DNS spoofing vulnerabilities announced in CERT
VU#800113. It adds source port randomization for communication with
upstream nameservers and replaces the C library PRNG with stronger
code. It makes failure to drop root privileges a hard error (previous
versions would log the error and continue, running as root.) Other
changes include an update to avoid triggering Linux kernel messages
about an out-of-date capabilities ABI, support for NAPTR records, and
RFC 5107 server-id-override. 

Release focus:
9 - Major security fixes

Project description:
Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP
server. It is designed to provide DNS and (optionally) DHCP to a small
network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the
global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows
machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names
configured either in each host or in a central configuration file.
Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for
network booting of diskless machines.
