Now that the technical details of the DNS flaw have been leaked, Paul Venezia wonders if there must be more to it than this.
"If not, then could it be that such an obvious flaw has been overlooked for more than twenty years because it's so ridiculously simple?" Venezia asks in this The Deep End post. "Everyone that should have known and/or fixed this missed it due to it's simplicity, yet someone with an inquiring mind yet little knowledge of DNS can figure it out because they have no prior experience with the protocol?"
Even so, quite a few provider DNS servers are still unpatched, Venezia reports.
