CVE-2008-4100
GNU adns 1.4 and earlier uses a fixed source port and sequential transaction IDs for DNS requests, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof DNS responses, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-1447.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.49%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
