TITLE:
BIND 8 Predictable DNS Query IDs Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26629

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26629/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Spoofing

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
ISC BIND 8.x.x
http://secunia.com/product/76/

DESCRIPTION:
Amit Klein has reported a vulnerability in BIND, which can be
exploited by malicious people to poison the DNS cache.

The vulnerability is caused due to predictable query IDs in outgoing
queries (e.g. if BIND works as resolver or when sending NOTIFYs to
slaves) and can be exploited to poison the DNS cache when the query
ID is guessed.

Reportedly, the probability to guess the next query ID is between 25%
and 43%, depending on the handled DNS traffic. 

The vulnerability is reported in BIND 8.x versions prior to 8.4.7-P1.

SOLUTION:
Update to BIND 8.4.7-P1.

NOTE: BIND 8.x has reached "End of Life". The vendor advises all
users to upgrade to BIND 9.4.1-P1.
