How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable djbdns to version 1:1.05-10 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream djbdns package and not the djbdns package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

dnscache in Daniel J. Bernstein djbdns 1.05 does not prevent simultaneous identical outbound DNS queries, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof DNS responses, as demonstrated by a spoofed A record in the Additional section of a response to a Start of Authority (SOA) query.
