    -------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3903-1                debian-lts@lists.debian.org     https://www.debian.org/lts/security/                       Daniel Leidert     September 29, 2024                            https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

    Package        : unbound     Version        : 1.13.1-1+deb11u3     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-43167 CVE-2024-43168     Debian Bug     : 1078647

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in unbound, a validating,     recursive, caching DNS resolver. Specially crafted input could cause a     heap-buffer-overflow leading to memory corruption and potentially     causing the application to crash or allowing arbitrary code execution     (CVE-2024-43168). A NULL pointer dereference flaw could allow an     attacker who can invoke specific sequences of API calls to cause a     segmentation fault and a denial of service (CVE-2024-43167).

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.13.1-1+deb11u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your unbound packages.
