Submission + - Exploit Lets Spoofed Addresses Masquerade as Legit on Linux Servers (arstechnica.com)

shoor writes: The exploit may allow malicious hackers to redirect inquiries to phishing and other malware sites that are replicas of legitimate sites. A new DNS spec was supposed to randomize the port DNS queries come from, closing off an exploit that allowed attackers to introduce a malicious IP address into a DNS resolver's cache. Under the new spec, an ICMP probe can change internal state in the Linux Kernel in a way that can be observed through a side channel.
