Title : Sun Solaris DNS Protocol Remote Cache Poisoning Vulnerability
VUPEN ID : VUPEN/ADV-2008-2055
CVE ID : CVE-2008-1447
CWE ID : CWE-331
Rated as : Moderate Risk 
Remotely Exploitable : Yes

A vulnerability has been identified in Sun Solaris, which could be exploited by remote attackers to poison a vulnerable DNS cache. This issue is caused due to the DNS server not sufficiently randomising DNS transaction IDs and UDP source ports in the DNS queries that they produce, which may allow an attacker to more easily forge DNS answers that can poison DNS caches.
Affected Products

Sun Solaris 9
Sun Solaris 10
Sun OpenSolaris
Solution
Sun Solaris 10 (SPARC) - Apply patch 119783-06 or later

A final resolution is pending completion.
