Hello,

SmartDefense includes protection for this attack since 2005 scrambling the
source port and query ID of each DNS request (just activate the DNS spoofing
protection in SD).


cya,

Hello everyone,

I've had a report from someone with clue (and tcpdump) that a properly
functioning DNS resolver that correctly uses randomised source ports
magically becomes vulnerable once the traffic's passed through a
Checkpoint firewall, where Dan Kaminsky's tool shows:

    x.y.z.155:56978 TXID=712
    x.y.z.155:56979 TXID=45713
    x.y.z.155:56980 TXID=63532
    x.y.z.155:56981 TXID=7243
    x.y.z.155:56982 TXID=17620

(note the incrementing port numbers.)

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

Checkpoint are one of the dozens of vendors listed on the CERT
advisory as &quot;Status: Unknown&quot;
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/MIMG-7ECL6B

They do have an advisory up:
   
http://www.checkpoint.com/defense/advisories/public/2008/cpai-01-Jul.html

I don't have the login needed to read the whole thing, but the front
page just says:

&quot;Protection provided by:
       VPN-1:    * NGX R65
                       * NGX R62
                       * NGX R61
                       * NGX R60
        [...etc, etc...] &quot;


cheers
