Subject: [PATCH] net: dns: Generate and verify transaction ID
Date: Thu,  5 May 2022 12:08:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220505100805.5144-1-jmaselbas@kalray.eu> (raw)

The transaction ID wasn't verified on received DNS responses, plus the
ID needs to be difficult to predict in order to avoid MitM (man in the
middle) being able to easily forge responses.
