DNS Vulnerability Exploit Code Released

      by Wyatt Walter

For those who haven’t heard (not sure where you’ve been hanging out if you haven’t) there’s been a published flaw in DNS released in the last month. The flaw is a major problem since it’s a flaw in the design, rather than one specific implementation. In the last few days more details have been coming out around the flaw. Today, source code was released to exploit the vulnerability. The source code is written for Metasploit, an open source framework for creating and testing exploit code. The code can be found here.

For any system admins out there who haven’t already: patch immediately. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to poison the DNS cache on your DNS server.
