CVE reference:	CVE-2008-1447 CVE-2008-1454

Description: Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to poison the DNS cache. 1) An error in the Windows DNS client and Windows DNS server due to insufficient socket entropy when performing DNS queries can be exploited to poison the DNS cache. 2) An error in the Windows DNS server may cause it to accept records from responses outside of the remote server's authority. This can be exploited via specially crafted responses to DNS requests to poison the DNS cache. Solution: Apply patches. -- DNS Client -- Windows 2000 SP4: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=269c219c-9d6b-4b12-b621-c70cd07cdd22 Windows XP SP2/SP3: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=ed989a33-7a9e-4423-93a8-b38907467cdf Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (optionally with SP2): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=a2b016fa-b108-4e8e-b41b-4ca89002907b Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=4ef5033c-9843-4e0b-bfad-fcaf05d7dab9 Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (optionally with SP2): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=66624a1f-38bf-4af7-936d-3131474ffe1f Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2 for Itanium-based systems: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=facc80da-61d6-49c5-872d-a1980b66ae3e -- DNS Server -- Windows 2000 Server SP4: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=332aa92f-a1ad-42a0-87d0-485d2d41335b Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=d1fcb794-e6a5-4c28-b3b3-9cd88f468a42 Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (optionally with SP2): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=040a1ba8-21b0-439e-bf21-1acd1c43b162 Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2 for Itanium-based systems: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=c63e3ee6-6055-4313-b0f1-fec7408886bb Windows Server 2008 for 32-bit Systems: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=1fcea8f4-b233-42e1-b913-c4fcae276c7b Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de...=afac5bbc-71fa-457b-8b0a-f5902d37bfd0 Provided and/or discovered by: 1) The vendor credits Dan Kaminsky, IOActive. 2) Reported by the vendor.
