CVE-2012-2808

CVE-2012-2808 affects Android's Bionic DNS resolver, where the PRNG used to generate DNS query IDs and UDP source ports relies on time and PID. This weakens randomness, facilitating remote spoofing of DNS responses. The connected CVE-2015-0800 describes a related Android Firefox DNS-spoofing issu...

CVE-2015-0800

The CVE-2015-0800 entry concerns Mozilla Firefox on Android (pre-37.0) where the DNS resolver’s PRNG for query IDs and UDP source ports may not generate random values properly. This weakens the ability to distinguish genuine DNS responses from spoofed ones, enabling remote attackers to spoof DNS ...
