Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#319331Microsoft Windows DNS Server response validation vulnerabilityOverviewThe Microsoft Windows DNS server contains a response validation vulnerability. If successfully exploited, this vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison the affected DNS server's cache.I. DescriptionThe Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating host names to IP addresses (and vice versa) and is critical for the normal operation of internet-connected systems.Per Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-008:
II. ImpactAn attacker may be able to insert arbitrary values in the DNS cache. An attacker with the ability to conduct a successful attack can cause a nameserver's clients to contact the incorrect, and possibly malicious, hosts for particular services. Consequently, web traffic, email, and other important network data can be redirected to systems under the attacker's control.III. SolutionUpgradeMicrosoft has released an update to address this issue. See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS09-008.mspx for more information.

Title: | DNS Server Response Validation Vulnerability | ||
Description: | The DNS Resolver Cache Service (aka DNSCache) in Windows DNS Server in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, and Server 2008 does not properly cache crafted DNS responses, which makes it easier for remote attackers to predict transaction IDs and poison caches by sending many crafted DNS queries that trigger "unnecessary lookups," aka "DNS Server Response Validation Vulnerability." | ||
