PowerDNS Recursor Remote Cache Poisoning Vulnerability

PowerDNS is prone to a remote cache-poisoning vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a legitimate site to an attacker-specified site.

Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate cache data, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, site-impersonation, or denial-of-service attacks.

PowerDNS 3.1.7.1 and earlier are vulnerable.
