DNS cache poisoning spotted at China Netcom
China Netcom (CNC), one of China's largest Internet service providers (ISP), had the cache of its primary DNS server poisoned to redirect certain common typos to a malicious site. Now, it is relatively common for mistyped domain names to be redirected by ISPs to a placeholder site with advertisements as an additional revenue source for them. In this case though, customers of this prominent ISP are forwarded to a website under the control of an attacker. According to Websense's Security Labs alert, the site is rigged with malicious iFrame code to exploit known vulnerabilities in RealPlayer, MS06-014, Flash Player and Microsoft Snapshot Viewer.
