Bryght Hosting -- DNS Flaw Resolution

Recently a flaw was found in the DNS protocol. This was published, after a short delay while distributors found workarounds to this issue, as CVE-2008-1447. This flaw allows for an attacker to spoof a DNS response and possibly send a user to an unknown, likely unwanted, site in the place of your own.
To be absolutely clear, there are no known exploits to this flaw in the wild currently. The flaw was discovered by security researchers and has so far been very loosely described, so much so that it would be exceptionally difficult to reverse engineer the flaw from the description.
