Description:
Sun has acknowledged a vulnerability in Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious people to poison the DNS cache with negative entries.
For more information:
SA10300
Solution:
No update is available from Sun.
A DNS cache should only be accessible from specified IP addresses. A proper firewall filter will limit the possibilities of sending spoofed or fake answers to the DNS cache.
ISC has released BIND 8.3.7 and 8.4.3, which fix this vulnerability.
