5.8
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
ipnat in IP Filter in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96, when running on a DNS server with Network Address Translation (NAT) configured, improperly changes the source port of a packet when the destination port is the DNS port, which allows remote attackers to bypass an intended CVE-2008-1447 protection mechanism and spoof the responses to DNS queries sent by named.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-5133 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
