Description: A vulnerability was reported in Nortel Business Communications Manager. 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.
Some demonstration exploit code is available
