CVE-1999-0274

Summary

CVE-1999-0274 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Windows NT DNS servers. Maliciously crafted packets, which respond to queries not initiated by the server, can cause the DNS service to crash or become unresponsive, thereby denying access to legitimate users. This issue can lead to significant downtime and disruption of network services. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted packets to a target's DNS server, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. System administrators are advised to update their DNS servers with the available patch to mitigate this risk.
