DNS Cache Poisoning Update

Posted by Zonk on from the trustno1 dept.

dhammabum writes "Todays SANS internet storm handler has put up an excellent update of the DNS poisoning vulnerability currently doing the rounds. The main points are that only Windows DNS servers are vulnerable (degrees of vulnerability depending on patch level), provided you are not running an ancient version of bind. Also bind4 and bind8 do not clean poisoned caches if they receive them from a poisoned Windows DNS server but bind9 does."
