New Dns Threat?

Featured Replies

Just red an article (sorry in french) here

http://www.dhnet.be/infos/high-tech/articl...e-securite.html

They advise to connect to doxpara.com to see if there is a problem

This is what you can find on the site

Recently, a significant threat to DNS, the system that translates names you can remember (such as www.doxpara.com) to numbers the Internet can route (66.240.226.139) was discovered, that would allow malicious people to impersonate almost any website on the Internet. Software companies across the industry have quietly collaborated to simultaneously release fixes for all affected name servers. To find out if the DNS server you use is vulnerable, click below.

Did it and it says my window computers are vulnerable despite one was updated yesterday night via automatic update by microsoft

Is this a hoax????

If not does anybody know where to download a fix?????

It is not a hoax and there is currently an active thread on it - you can not make the DNS patch - your DNS provider must do that. Currently Open DNS is safe from all reports I have seen (already patched). Many others have not done so yet but it should be in process.

Thanks lopburi3 and sorry for double thread :o

The reason OpenDNS isn't at risk is cause they are using a different caching system from most other DNS's that run Bind.

All DNS servers running PowerDNS and their form for caching aren't vulnerable.

The risk is here. It would however require that someone, besides the small group that was alerted and fixing it, would know of the bug and how to exploit it though and then target you.

If they went for a phising attack they would still have to get the private part of the SSL certificate to completely fake the users, so make sure you are on secure sites when entering personal information.
