+ Amit Klein of Trusteer reported that insufficient randomness is used to
+ calculate the TRXID values and the UDP source port numbers
+ (CVE-2008-1637). Thomas Biege of SUSE pointed out that a prior fix to
+ resolve this issue was incomplete, as it did not always enable the
+ stronger random number generator for source port selection
+ (CVE-2008-3217).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send malicious answers to insert arbitrary DNS
+ data into the cache. These attacks would in turn help an attacker to
+ perform man-in-the-middle and site impersonation attacks.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PowerDNS Recursor users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-dns/pdns-recursor-3.1.6"</code>
