ipnat in IP Filter in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96, when running on a DNS server with Network Address Translation (NAT) configured, improperly changes the source port of a packet when the destination port is the DNS port, which allows remote attackers to bypass an intended CVE-2008-1447 protection mechanism and spoof the responses to DNS queries sent by named.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Solaris-based DNS servers using IP Filter NAT. NAT can undo DNS source-port protections intended to make forged DNS replies harder, increasing the chance of DNS spoofing against named. Exposure is narrow but important where legacy Solaris DNS resolvers still exist. Likely limited to legacy Sun Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris before snv_96 systems running named on a DNS server with IP Filter NAT configured. Treat as targeted legacy infrastructure risk. It deserves prompt review if Solaris DNS resolvers remain in production, especially where they provide recursive DNS or support critical environments. Mitigation focus: Identify Solaris DNS servers using IP Filter NAT.; Check Sun/Oracle advisory 245206 for supported fixes or configuration guidance.; Upgrade OpenSolaris systems to snv_96 or later where applicable..
