Microsoft Windows DNS spoofing information disclosure
| win-dns-spoof-information-disclosure (36805) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
The Microsoft Windows DNS service in certain versions of Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 could allow a remote attacker to spoof DNS responses and obtain sensitive information. The DNS service fails to provide an adequate amount of entropy in randomization of transaction IDs when querying an upstream DNS server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information and modify the behavior of services running on a vulnerable system.
Platforms Affected:
- HP, Storage Management Appliance 2.1
- Microsoft, Windows 2000 SP4
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP1 Itanium
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP2 x64
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP2 Itanium
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP2
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server x64
- Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server SP1
Remedy:
Apply the appropriate patch for your system, as listed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-062. See References.
Consequences:
