medium Nessus Plugin ID 72833

Synopsis

The DNS server running on the remote host is vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Microsoft DNS Server running on the remote host contains an issue with the entropy of transaction IDs that could allow an attacker to spoof DNS responses. By exploiting this issue, an attacker may be able to redirect legitimate traffic from other systems that could allow him to construct more complex attacks.
