DNS: Microsoft DNS Server ANY Query Spoofing

This signature attempts to detect a spoofing vulnerability in Windows DNS server. The vulnerability is due to a response validation flaw in the Windows DNS server which does not correctly cache specifically crafted DNS responses. Remote unauthenticated attackers could leverage this vulnerability by sending multiple specifically crafted DNS queries of type "ANY" to the DNS server.

Extended Description

The Microsoft Windows DNS Server is prone to a DNS-spoofing vulnerability because the software fails to cache responses to specially crafted DNS queries. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to spoof DNS replies, allowing them to redirect network traffic and to launch man-in-the-middle attacks.
