Subject: CVE Request (ruby -- DNS spoofing vulnerability in
resolv.rb)
Hello Steve,
could you please allocate an another CVE id
for the DNS spoofing vulnerability in Ruby resolv.rb code.
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2008/08/08/multiple-vulnerabilities-in-ruby/
(part DNS spoofing vulnerability in resolv.rb)
Original CVE-2008-1447:
The DNS protocol, as implemented in (1) BIND 8 and 9 before 9.5.0-P1,
9.4.2-P1, and 9.3.5-P1; (2) Microsoft DNS in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2
and SP3, and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2; and other implementations allow
remote attackers to spoof DNS traffic via a birthday attack that uses
in-bailiwick referrals to conduct cache poisoning against recursive
resolvers, related to insufficient randomness of DNS transaction IDs and
source ports, aka "DNS Insufficient Socket Entropy Vulnerability" or
"the Kaminsky bug."
The Ruby problem is slightly different from the original CVE-2008-1447
problem. It is also insufficient randomization of transaction IDs and
source ports, but:
1, CVE-2008-1447 speaks nothing about Ruby
2, Part "spoof DNS traffic via a birthday attack that uses in-bailiwick
referrals to conduct cache poisoning against recursive resolvers"
is applicable only to caching resolvers.

The transaction IDs are assigned in sequential (n+1 order) and the
source ports are always the same.
Scenario:
=========
1, First tty: tcpdump -i eth0 -s1500 -n udp port 53
2, Another tty: ./resolv_test.rb (resolv_test.rb attached).
Thank you in advance
Kind regards
