The crash occurs during configuration parsing\u2014before dnsmasq begins serving network requests\u2014so it cannot be remotely triggered through normal DNS or DHCP traffic. Exploitation requires local access or control over the dnsmasq configuration file, which is typically restricted to privileged users. While the crash is deterministic and causes complete service unavailability, its impact is limited to availability and cannot be used to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.", "threat_severity": "Low"}
