DESCRIPTION:
VMware has acknowledged some vulnerabilities in VMware vMA, which can
be exploited by malicious people to poison the DNS cache.
1) A vulnerability is caused due to BIND caching CNAME or DNAME
records of a response without proper DNSSEC verification.
2) An error within the DNSSEC NSEC/NSEC3 validation mechanism could
lead to bogus NXDOMAIN responses being cached as correctly
validated.
For more information:
SA38219
SOLUTION:
Do not use bind.
