<background>
<p>
Net::DNS is a Perl implementation of a DNS resolver.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
hjp discovered an error when handling DNS query IDs which make them
partially predictable. Steffen Ullrich discovered an error in the
dn_expand() function which could lead to an endless loop.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted DNS request to the
server which could result in a Denial of Service with an infinite
recursion, or perform a cache poisoning attack.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Net::DNS users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-perl/Net-DNS-0.60"</code>
</resolution>
