ALSA-2026:36320 — Important: unbound security update

Affected: AlmaLinux:10: python3-unbound, AlmaLinux:10: unbound, AlmaLinux:10: unbound-anchor, AlmaLinux:10: unbound-devel, AlmaLinux:10: unbound-dracut, AlmaLinux:10: unbound-libs, AlmaLinux:10: unbound-utils

The unbound packages provide a validating, recursive, and caching DNS or DNSSEC resolver.

Security Fix(es):

* unbound: Unbound: Denial of Service via excessive EDNS options (CVE-2026-41292) * unbound: Unbound: Cache manipulation via 'ghost domain names' attack (CVE-2026-40622) * unbound: Unbound: Denial of Service due to excessive resource consumption with large DNS Resource Record Sets (CVE-2026-44390) * unbound: Unbound: Denial of Service due to degraded resolution performance in jostle logic (CVE-2026-42534)

NLnet Labs Unbound 1.16.2 up to and including version 1.25.0 has a vulnerability of the 'ghost domain names' family of attacks that could extend the ghost domain window by up to one cached TTL configured value. Similar to other 'ghost domain names' attacks, an adversary needs to control a (ghost) zone and be able to query a vulnerable Unbound. A single client NS query can cause Unbound to overwrite the cached expired parent-side referral NS rrset with the child-side apex NS rrset and essentially extend the ghost domain window by up to one cached TTL configured value ('cache-max-ttl'). In configurations where 'harden-referral-path: yes' is used (non-default configuration), no client NS query is required since Unbound implicitly performs that query. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch with a fix that does not allow extension of TTLs for (parent) NS records regardless of their trust.

OESA-2026-2606 — unbound security update

Affected: openEuler:22.03-LTS-SP4: unbound

Unbound is a validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver. It is designed to be fast and lean and incorporates modern features based on open standards. To help increase online privacy, Unbound supports DNS-over-TLS which allows clients to encrypt their communication. Unbound is available for most platforms such as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, MacOS, Linux and Microsoft Windows. Unbound is a totally free, open source software under the BSD license. It doesn&apos;t make custom builds or provide specific features to paying customers only. Security Fix(es):

NLnet Labs Unbound 1.6.2 up to and including version 1.25.0 has a denial of service vulnerability when compiled with DNSCrypt support ('--enable-dnscrypt'). A bad DNSCrypt query could underflow Unbound's DNSCrypt packet reading procedure that may lead to heap overflow. A malicious actor can exploit the vulnerability with a single bad DNSCrypt query that its decrypted plaintext consists entirely of '0x00' bytes and does not contain the expected '0x80' marker. Unbound would then start reading more bytes than necessary until it finds a non-'0x00' byte. Based on the underlying memory allocator and the memory layout, it could lead to heap overflow while reading followed by a crash. Likelihood of a crash is low, since it relies heavily on the underlying memory allocator and the memory layout. If the heap overflow does not happen, Unbound's later packet checks will deny the packe…
