From the paper:
"Our threat model includes attackers controlling network
routers near the legitimate DNS servers. It also includes
attackers using NSA’s QUANTUMINSERT man-on-the-side
attack technique (no relation to quantum computing), which
injects fake responses to DNS queries before the real responses
arrive (see, e.g., [32]); the real responses are then ignored."
Their proposed ways to tackle these (following the above, see the paper) seem decidedly imperfect though.
