Description:
A vulnerability was reported in the Microsoft Windows DNS Service. A remote user can conduct DNS spoofing attacks.
The Windows DNS Server service on Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 does not provide sufficient entropy when generating pseudo-random transaction values in queries sent to upstream DNS servers.
A remote user can send specially crafted DNS responses to the target system (in response to DNS requests) to cause network traffic processed or generated by the target system to be routed to an alternate system.
Alla Berzroutchko of Scanit and Amit Klein of Trusteer reported this vulnerability.
