## What is CVE-2002-2211?

CVE-2002-2211 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Isc Bind, published on 23 May 2006. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

BIND 4 and BIND 8, when resolving recursive DNS queries for arbitrary hosts, allows remote attackers to conduct DNS cache poisoning via a birthday attack that uses a large number of open queries for the same resource record (RR) combined with spoofed responses, which increases the possibility of successfully spoofing a response in a way that is more efficient than brute force methods.

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2002-2211 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2002-2211 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Isc Bind, published on 23 May 2006. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2002-2211 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Isc Bind. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
