Hi,

yes, we are both talking about the clients running as root.

dnsmasq is compiled with gcc, so CCpp should catch the crash.

I compiled dnsmasq from source and tested this binary (which also
crashes due to the same bug). These crashes are overlooked also.

ProcessUnpackaged ist set to yes.

Even killall -ABRT dnsmasq manages to escape ABRT.

I updated abrt* from updates-testing, no changes.

Starting to sound like a bug, then. Maybe file it against the ccpp plugin?

Hi,

this is not really a bug. AFAIK dnsmasq drops privileges and thus calls setuid(). Applications doing this are not dumped by default because of security reasons - kernel does not even call the coredump hook. You can enable this by setting the value of /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable to either 1 or 2. See man 5 proc for details.
