DNS Mega-Poison

According to IT-Web there is a mega flaw in DNS that will allow for DNS poisoning to happen allowing attackers to redirect traffic to almost anywhere.
DNS (Domain Naming System) is the system that converts domain names to IP Addresses. This previously undiscovered vulnerability could lead to massive identity theft due to the fact that users could be redirected to fake websites without their knowledge.
