well, depends on what the tool is 'trying' to do ...
maybe it is opening a raw socket (or trying to do so)
at least the DHCP stuff seems to point into that direction
this would mean that it would require CAP_NET_RAW which
in turn would permit interface sniffing inside the guest
maybe the DHCP stuff can be deactivated via some config
option (for dnsmasqd)?
