Description
===========

This exploit targets a fairly ubiquitous flaw in DNS implementations
which allow the insertion of malicious DNS records into the cache of the
target nameserver.  This exploit caches a single malicious host entry
into the target nameserver.  By causing the target nameserver to query
for random hostnames at the target domain, the attacker can spoof a
response to the target server including an answer for the query, an
authority server record, and an additional record for that server,
causing target nameserver to insert the additional record into the
cache.

                              malicious host entry into the target nameserver by sending random sub-domain
                              queries to the target DNS server coupled with spoofed replies to those

                              additional records sections.  Eventually, a guessed ID will match and the
                              spoofed packet will get accepted, and due to the additional hostname entry
                              being within bailiwick constraints of the original request the malicious host
                              entry will get cached.
