[Full-disclosure] DNS and Checkpoint

Hello everyone,

I've had a report from someone with clue (and tcpdump) that a properly
functioning DNS resolver that correctly uses randomised source ports
magically becomes vulnerable once the traffic's passed through a
Checkpoint firewall, where Dan Kaminsky's tool shows:

x.y.z.155:56978 TXID=712
x.y.z.155:56979 TXID=45713
x.y.z.155:56980 TXID=63532
x.y.z.155:56981 TXID=7243
x.y.z.155:56982 TXID=17620

(note the incrementing port numbers.)

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

Checkpoint are one of the dozens of vendors listed on the CERT
advisory as "Status: Unknown"
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/MIMG-7ECL6B

They do have an advisory up:
http://www.checkpoint.com/defense/advisories/public/2008/cpai-01-Jul.html

I don't have the login needed to read the whole thing, but the front
page just says:

"Protection provided by:
VPN-1: * NGX R65
* NGX R62
* NGX R61
* NGX R60
[...etc, etc...] "


cheers
