UNKNOWN Summary
Multiple implementations of the DNS protocol, including (1) Poslib 1.0.2-1 and earlier as used by Posadis, (2) Axis Network products before firmware 3.13, and (3) Men & Mice Suite 2.2x before 2.2.3 and 3.5.x before 3.5.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and network bandwidth consumption) by triggering a communications loop via (a) DNS query packets with localhost as a spoofed source address, or (b) a response packet that triggers a response packet.
Vulnerable Configurations
Nessus
NASL family | DNS |
NASL id | DNS_RESPONSE_FLOOD.NASL |
description | The remote DNS server is vulnerable to a denial of service attack because it replies to DNS responses. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by spoofing a DNS packet so that it appears to come from 127.0.0.1 and make the remote DNS server enter into an infinite loop, therefore denying service to legitimate users. |
