Description: A vulnerability was reported in BlueCat Networks Adonis. 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.
Dan Kaminsky of IOActive reported this vulnerability.
