Re: US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#800113



I understand, but based on Dave's scenario, there is still the need to 'poison' the DNS first and that requires at least a few things to happen.

I'm just trying to verify that if the client is affected that clearing the cache will get them back to square one - until the next poisoning occurs.

Not a solution of course, just a question.

A quick question. Would the regular flushing of the DNS cache via
lookupd -flushcache or dscacheutil -flushcache clear up any client
issues in a case-by-case basis?

Thanks,

Unless the source DNS server is fixed, the poisoned information will just be
re-cached on the client.
