A network amplification vulnerability was found in Unbound, in the way it processes delegation messages from one authoritative zone to another. This flaw allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or be part of an attack against another DNS server when Unbound is deployed as a recursive resolver or authoritative name server.(CVE-2020-12662)

Unbound before 1.10.1 has an infinite loop via malformed DNS answers received from upstream servers.(CVE-2020-12663)
