    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Unbound, a validating,
    recursive, caching DNS resolver, which could result in denial of service,
    cache poisoning, DNS cookie bypass or potentially the execution of
    arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.26.1-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your unbound packages.

    For the detailed security status of unbound please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/unbound

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
