The version of unbound installed on the remote host is prior to 1.13.1-3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2UNBOUND-2024-001 advisory.
An issue was discovered in some DNS recursive resolvers that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service using a maliciously designed authority and response amplification. (CVE-2024-33655)
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.
