NLnet Labs Information for VU#800113

Date Notified:2008-05-14
Date Updated:2008-07-10
Statement Date:2008-05-16
Status Summary:Not Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

Unbound implements numerous strategies to prevent spoof protection,

those include udp port randomization,  rtt banding, source ip
randomization, and optionally, so called 0x20 query name randomization.
Besides, Unbound features an architectural element that performs sanity
checks on incoming data to prevent certain types of poisoning attempts.

Although Unbound has been built using all known protections against DNS
spoofs, the DNS protocol is inherently vulnerable to these sorts of
attacks. NLnet Labs believes that the only real solution to this problem
is the use of DNSSEC.
