------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3736-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany February 21, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : unbound Version : 1.9.0-2+deb10u4 CVE ID : CVE-2023-50387 CVE-2023-50868 Debian Bug : 1063845

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in unbound, a validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver. Specially crafted DNSSEC answers could lead unbound down a very CPU intensive and time costly DNSSEC (CVE-2023-50387) or NSEC3 hash (CVE-2023-50868) validation path, resulting in denial of service.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.0-2+deb10u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your unbound packages.

For the detailed security status of unbound please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/unbound
