Original description
BIND 4 and BIND 8, when resolving recursive DNS queries for arbitrary hosts, allows remote attackers to conduct DNS cache poisoning via a birthday attack that uses a large number of open queries for the same resource record (RR) combined with spoofed responses, which increases the possibility of successfully spoofing a response in a way that is more efficient than brute force methods.
Affected software
- BIND 9 = 4.9.2= 4.9.9= 4.9.6= 4.9.8= 4.9.7= 8.2.5 exact match
