CVE-1999-1379

Summary

CVE-1999-1379 is a cybersecurity vulnerability affecting DNS name servers. An attacker can exploit this issue by sending a UDP DNS query with a spoofed source address to a name server. As a result, the server amplifies the traffic directed towards the victim, generating more traffic than initially sent by the attacker. This can lead to denial-of-service attacks, potentially overwhelming the victim's network.
