DNS Spoofing (or DNS Cache Poisoning) is the specific attack where an attacker manipulates the Domain Name System resolution process to return a false IP address to a user, thereby redirecting them to a malicious website.

SQL Injection and Session Hijacking are attacks on application layers (database and session management, respectively), not the name resolution service.
