CVE-2026-109125
Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Unbound, a validating,
recursive, caching DNS resolver.
CVE-2026-35501
(DNSSEC) Bypass of a configured island trust anchor underneath an insecure
parent from an attacker-controlled NSEC record.
CVE-2026-50106
(DNSSEC) Possible insecure NXDOMAIN for non-existing records under a
configured island trust anchor underneath an insecure parent.
CVE-2026-96405
Aggregate DNS name chained pointer decompression work leads to degradation
of service.
CVE-2026-97206
DNS-over-QUIC path-migration can lead to use-after-free on multi-threaded
deployments, leading to potential denial of service.
CVE-2026-109125
Possible cache poisoning vulnerability via a cache side-channel exposed by
'unwanted-reply-threshold'.
For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.26.2-0+deb13u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your unbound packages.
