bind: DNS cache poisoning

Package(s):bind CVE #(s):CVE-2007-2926
Created:July 24, 2007 Updated:August 20, 2007
Description: A flaw was found in the way BIND generates outbound DNS query ids. If an attacker is able to acquire a finite set of query IDs, it becomes possible to accurately predict future query IDs. Future query ID prediction may allow an attacker to conduct a DNS cache poisoning attack, which can result in the DNS server returning incorrect client query data.
