The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200804-22 (PowerDNS Recursor: DNS Cache Poisoning)

Amit Klein of Trusteer reported that insufficient randomness is used to     calculate the TRXID values and the UDP source port numbers     (CVE-2008-1637). Thomas Biege of SUSE pointed out that a prior fix to     resolve this issue was incomplete, as it did not always enable the     stronger random number generator for source port selection     (CVE-2008-3217).

Impact :

A remote attacker could send malicious answers to insert arbitrary DNS     data into the cache. These attacks would in turn help an attacker to     perform man-in-the-middle and site impersonation attacks.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
