CVE-2019-14834
A vulnerability was found in dnsmasq before version 2.81, where the memory leak allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving DHCP response creation.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.65%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
