Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'dnsmasq'
package(s) announced via the FEDORA-2023-eeca11a4df advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Dnsmasq is 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 for network booting of disk-less
machines.

Affected Software/OS:
'dnsmasq' package(s) on Fedora 38.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
