"The version of unbound installed on the remote host is prior to 1.7.3-15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2468 advisory.
NLnet Labs Unbound, up to and including version 1.16.1 is vulnerable to a novel type of the ghost domain
names attack. The vulnerability works by targeting an Unbound instance. Unbound is queried for a
subdomain of a rogue domain name. The rogue nameserver returns delegation information for the subdomain
that updates Unbound's delegation cache. This action can be repeated before expiry of the delegation
information by querying Unbound for a second level subdomain which the rogue nameserver provides new
delegation information. Since Unbound is a child-centric resolver, the ever-updating child delegation
information can keep a rogue domain name resolvable long after revocation. From version 1.16.2 on, Unbound
checks the validity of parent delegation records before using cached delegation information.
(CVE-2022-30698)
NLnet Labs Unbound, up to and including version 1.16.1, is vulnerable to a novel type of the ghost domain
names attack. The vulnerability works by targeting an Unbound instance. Unbound is queried for a rogue
domain name when the cached delegation information is about to expire. The rogue nameserver delays the
response so that the cached delegation information is expired. Upon receiving the delayed answer
containing the delegation information, Unbound overwrites the now expired entries. This action can be
repeated when the delegation information is about to expire making the rogue delegation information ever-
updating. From version 1.16.2 on, Unbound stores the start time for a query and uses that to decide if the
cached delegation information can be overwritten. (CVE-2022-30699)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
