DNS Query Spoofing Vulnerability in Belkin F9K1102 Routers

CVE-2015-5987

Summary

The Belkin F9K1102 router, specifically version 2.10.17, exhibits a flaw in its DNS query handling due to an improper algorithm used for selecting ID values in DNS query headers. This design weakness allows potential attackers to predict the ID value, making it easier to spoof DNS responses. Such vulnerabilities can lead to various attack vectors, including redirecting users to malicious sites or intercepting sensitive data, underscoring the need for robust network security measures.
