NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby3.4-default-gems package and not the ruby3.4-default-gems package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

resolv.rb in Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p287, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p72, and 1.9 r18423 and earlier uses sequential transaction IDs and constant source ports for DNS requests, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof DNS responses, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-1447.
