BIND 4 and BIND 8, when resolving recursive DNS queries for arbitrary hosts, allows remote attackers to conduct DNS cache poisoning via a birthday attack that uses a large number of open queries for the same resource record (RR) combined with spoofed responses, which increases the possibility of successfully spoofing a response in a way that is more efficient than brute force methods.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a DNS cache-poisoning weakness in legacy BIND 4 and BIND 8 recursive resolvers. An attacker could try to trick a resolver into caching false DNS answers, potentially sending users to the wrong destination. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, complete affected CPEs, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where obsolete BIND 4 or BIND 8 servers still provide recursive DNS service, especially if recursion is available to arbitrary clients. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete and lists no CPEs. Prioritize if the organization still operates legacy recursive DNS infrastructure. For modern supported DNS stacks, this is mainly a legacy exposure review rather than an emergency response item. Mitigation focus: Inventory DNS resolvers for legacy BIND 4 or BIND 8 use.; Check ISC and operating-system vendor guidance for supported remediation.; Retire or replace unsupported BIND 4 and BIND 8 deployments..
