Synopsis

Remote DNS server is vulnerable to spoofing attacks.

Description

The remote host has the Windows DNS server installed.

There is a flaw in the remote version of this server that could allow an attacker to spoof DNS responses. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker may be able to redirect legitimate traffic from other systems that could allow him to construct more complex attacks.

Solution

Microsoft has released patches for Windows 2000 and 2003 Server.
