Updated dnsmasq packages fix security vulnerabilities:

When dnsmasq before 2.63 is used in conjunctions with certain
configurations of libvirtd, network packets from prohibited networks
(e.g. packets that should not be passed in) may be sent to the dnsmasq
application and processed. This can result in DNS amplification
attacks for example (CVE-2012-3411).

- replied to remote TCP-protocol based DNS queries (UDP protocol
ones were corrected, but TCP ones not) from prohibited networks,
when the --bind-dynamic option was used,

- when --except-interface lo option was used dnsmasq didn't answer
local or remote UDP DNS queries, but still allowed TCP protocol based
DNS queries,
