Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2455-01
Posted Nov 20, 2015
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2455-01 - The unbound packages provide a validating, recursive, and caching DNS or DNSSEC resolver. A denial of service flaw was found in unbound that an attacker could use to trick the unbound resolver into following an endless loop of delegations, consuming an excessive amount of resources. Prior to this update, there was a mistake in the time configuration in the cron job invoking unbound-anchor to update the root zone key. Consequently, unbound-anchor was invoked once a month instead of every day, thus not complying with RFC 5011. The cron job has been replaced with a systemd timer unit that is invoked on a daily basis. Now, the root zone key validity is checked daily at a random time within a 24-hour window, and compliance with RFC 5011 is ensured.

FreeBSD Security Advisory - unbound Denial Of Service
Posted Dec 17, 2014
Authored by Florian Maury | Site security.freebsd.org

FreeBSD Security Advisory - By causing queries to be made against a maliciously-constructed zone or against a malicious DNS server, an attacker who is able to cause specific queries to be sent to a nameserver can trick unbound(8) resolver into following an endless series of delegations, which consumes a lot of resources.

Debian Security Advisory 3097-1
Posted Dec 11, 2014
Authored by Debian | Site debian.org

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3097-1 - Florian Maury from ANSSI discovered that unbound, a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver, was prone to a denial of service vulnerability. An attacker crafting a malicious zone and able to emit (or make emit) queries to the server can trick the resolver into following an endless series of delegations, leading to resource exhaustion and huge network usage.
