Vulnerability CVE-2020-17470


Published: 2020-12-11   Modified: 2020-12-12

Description:
An issue was discovered in FNET through 4.6.4. The code that initializes the DNS client interface structure does not set sufficiently random transaction IDs (they are always set to 1 in _fnet_dns_poll in fnet_dns.c). This significantly simplifies DNS cache poisoning attacks.

Type:

CWE-20

(Improper Input Validation)
