Description:
A vulnerability was reported in JUNOS. A remote user can spoof the system.
The domain name system (DNS) service does not use sufficiently random UDP sockets to process queries. A remote user can send specially crafted DNS queries and responses to the target service to spoof responses and insert records into the DNS cache. This may cause traffic to be redirected to arbitrary IP addresses specified by the remote user.
J-series routers running JUNOS Enhanced Services Software (junos-jsr) built prior to May 23, 2008 are affected.
Juniper switching products running JUNOS Enhanced Switching Software (junos-ex) built prior to May 23, 2008 are also affected.
Dan Kaminsky of IOActive reported this vulnerability.

Impact:
