CVE-2008-4099 (CCN-45938)

Assigned:2008-07-10
Published:2008-07-10
Updated:2008-09-19
Summary:PyDNS (aka python-dns) before 2.3.1-4 in Debian GNU/Linux does not use random source ports or transaction IDs for DNS requests, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof DNS responses, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-1447.
