RISK: Medium Risk

1. DNS Insufficient Socket Entropy Vulnerability

A spoofing vulnerability exists in Windows DNS client and Windows DNS server. This vulnerability could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to quickly and reliably spoof responses and insert records into the DNS server or client cache, thereby redirecting Internet traffic.

2. DNS Cache Poisoning Vulnerability

A cache poisoning vulnerability exists in Windows DNS Server. The vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to send specially crafted responses to DNS requests made by vulnerable systems, thereby poisoning the DNS cache and redirecting Internet traffic from legitimate locations.
