"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1122 advisory.

    A multi-vendor cache poisoning vulnerability named 'Rebirthday Attack' has been discovered in caching
    resolvers that support EDNS Client Subnet (ECS). Unbound is also vulnerable when compiled with ECS
    support, i.e., '--enable-subnet', AND configured to send ECS information along with queries to upstream
    name servers, i.e., at least one of the 'send-client-subnet', 'client-subnet-zone' or 'client-subnet-
    always-forward' options is used. Resolvers supporting ECS need to segregate outgoing queries to
    accommodate for different outgoing ECS information. This re-opens up resolvers to a birthday paradox
    attack (Rebirthday Attack) that tries to match the DNS transaction ID in order to cache non-ECS poisonous
    replies. (CVE-2025-5994)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
