CVE-2001-1452 describes a DNS cache poisoning vulnerability affecting Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 Server. By default, these DNS servers improperly cache "glue records" from non-delegated name servers, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious data into the DNS cache through spoofed responses. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity and a high impact on integrity, without requiring user interaction or privileges. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
