DNS Security problem.
John Shores
I just read an article in todays Tidbits re a security leak among your DNS servers.All users who connect to Mac OS X-based servers for DNS lookups are
at risk: Apple has not yet provided a patch, unlike dozens of other
companies that make or distribute operating systems or DNS server
software.
Apple was clearly distracted by the largest set of launches in its
history: the iPhone 3G, the iPhone 2.0 software, the
.Mac-to-MobileMe transition, and the App Store. Nonetheless, their
customers are now in danger and Apple needs to respond immediately.
All companies that provide DNS service to their customers should
have already updated their DNS servers. Many have not. You can
determine whether your ISP is at risk by visiting Kaminsky's site
and clicking the Check My DNS button. If the site says your DNS is
at risk of being poisoned, contact your ISP or your company's IT
department immediately.
