VULHUB ™

It is reported that dnsd is prone to a cache poisoning vulnerability. Dnsd does not ensure that the data returned from a remote DNS server contains related information about the requested records. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to deny service to legitimate users by redirecting traffic to inappropriate hosts. Man-in-the-middle attacks, impersonation of sites, and other attacks may be possible.
