CVE-2008-1637

Status Candidate

Overview

PowerDNS Recursor before 3.1.5 uses insufficient randomness to calculate (1) TRXID values and (2) UDP source port numbers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to poison a DNS cache, related to (a) algorithmic deficiencies in rand and random functions in external libraries, (b) use of a 32-bit seed value, and (c) choice of the time of day as the sole seeding information.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 200804-22
Posted Aug 22, 2008
Authored by Gentoo | Site security.gentoo.org

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory [UPDATE] GLSA 200804-22:03 - Amit Klein of Trusteer reported that insufficient randomness is used to calculate the TRXID values and the UDP source port numbers (CVE-2008-1637). Thomas Biege of SUSE pointed out that a prior fix to resolve this issue was incomplete, as it did not always enable the stronger random number generator for source port selection (CVE-2008-3217). Versions less than 3.1.6 are affected.

Debian Security Advisory 1544-2 - Thomas Biege discovered that the upstream fix for the weak random number randomization did still not use difficult-to-predict random numbers. This is corrected in this security update.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 1544-1
Posted Apr 10, 2008
Authored by Debian | Site debian.org

Debian Security Advisory 1544-1 - Amit Klein discovered that pdns-recursor, a caching DNS resolver, uses a weak random number generator to create DNS transaction IDs and UDP source port numbers. As a result, cache poisoning attacks were simplified.
