OVERVIEW

        Blue Coat has issued an advisory which announces which of their 
        products are vulnerable to the recent DNS update as discussed in 
        AL-2008.0080.


IMPACT

        Remote attackers could redirect traffic to a malicious server by
        spoofing DNS response packets.


MITIGATION

        Affected Products:

        ProxySG: Will be fixed in: 4.2.8.7, 5.2.4.3
        Director: Will be fixed in: 4.2.2.4, 5.2.2.5
        ProxyAV: Does not implement the recommended countermeasures, but
                 uses DNS only to resolve names for updates. Downloading of
                 updates is protected by SSL (unless disabled) preventing
                 attacks based on spoofed DNS responses (other than denial
                 of service).
        ProxyRA: Will be fixed in: 2.3.2.1
        PacketShaper: Will be fixed in: 8.3.2, 8.4.0
        iShaper: Will be fixed in: 8.3.2 (in-line plane)

        Unaffected Products:

        ProxyClient: relies on host platform for DNS resolution
        Reporter: relies on host platform for DNS resolution
        Skyx: relies on host platform for DNS resolution
        Mobility: relies on host platform for DNS resolution
        iShared: versions 3.2.3, 3.4, 3.6 and 3.7
