Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Darwin 1.0/9.1 and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown code block of the component Pseudo-Random Number Generator. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a remote code execution vulnerability. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A certain pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) algorithm that uses ADD with 0 random hops (aka "Algorithm A0"), as used in OpenBSD 3.5 through 4.2 and NetBSD 1.6.2 through 4.0, allows remote attackers to guess sensitive values such as (1) DNS transaction IDs or (2) IP fragmentation IDs by observing a sequence of previously generated values. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged for attacks such as DNS cache poisoning, injection into TCP packets, and OS fingerprinting.

The weakness was presented 03/04/2008 by Amit Klein (Website). The advisory is shared at trusteer.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2008-1148 since 03/04/2008. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (40329), SecurityFocus (BID 27647†) and Secunia (SA28819†). See VDB-41332 and VDB-41331 for similar entries. If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
