Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Open the browser (e.g. Firefox) 2. Quickly open many websites on different tabs (3 websites are enough in my case) 3. The connection is slow, so it takes some time until it connects to the websites. 4. Before any connection to the website is made, execute: sudo netstat -veepa -n -W and the following ports will appear (some output was omitted for clarity): Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State User Inode PID/Program name tcp 0 0 127.0.1.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 44220 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7562 0.0.0.0:* 65534 47002 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:48812 0.0.0.0:* 65534 48565 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:20249 0.0.0.0:* 65534 46993 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:41013 0.0.0.0:* 65534 46995 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 127.0.1.1:53 0.0.0.0:* 0 44219 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:57570 0.0.0.0:* 65534 49297 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:20978 0.0.0.0:* 65534 48597 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:17104 0.0.0.0:* 65534 48570 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4850 0.0.0.0:* 65534 46986 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:62450 0.0.0.0:* 65534 48595 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1067 0.0.0.0:* 65534 46994 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:13620 0.0.0.0:* 65534 47618 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9772 0.0.0.0:* 65534 47027 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:54956 0.0.0.0:* 65534 48516 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:38781 0.0.0.0:* 65534 48555 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:30589 0.0.0.0:* 65534 46987 2983/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:30917 0.0.0.0:* 65534 47558 2983/dnsmasq The user 65534 is "nobody", By inspection of /etc/passwd: nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin I'm using Dnsmasq version 2.68 on Ubuntu 14.04.
