"According to the versions of the unbound packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by
the following vulnerabilities :

    NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.25.0 has a vulnerability when handling replies with very
    large RRsets that Unbound needs to perform name compression for. Malicious upstream responses with very
    large RRsets with records that don't share a suffix above the root can cause Unbound to spend a
    considerable time applying name compression to downstream replies. This can lead to degraded performance
    and eventually denial of service in well orchestrated attacks. An adversary can exploit the vulnerability
    by querying Unbound for the specially crafted contents of a malicious zone with very large RRsets. Before
    Unbound replies to the query it will try to apply name compression which was an unbounded operation that
    could lock the CPU until the whole packet was complete. A compression limit was introduced in 1.21.1 for
    this but it didn't account for the case where records would not share any suffix above the root. That
    causes Unbound to go in a different code path because of the compression tree lookup failure and
    eventually not increment the compression counter for those operations. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch
    with a fix that increments the compression counter regardless of the compression tree lookup. This is a
    complement fix to CVE-2024-8508.(CVE-2026-44390)

    NLnet Labs Unbound 1.6.2 up to and including version 1.25.0 has a denial of service vulnerability when
    compiled with DNSCrypt support ('--enable-dnscrypt'). A bad DNSCrypt query could underflow Unbound's
    DNSCrypt packet reading procedure that may lead to heap overflow. A malicious actor can exploit the
    vulnerability with a single bad DNSCrypt query that its decrypted plaintext consists entirely of '0x00'
    bytes and does not contain the expected '0x80' marker. Unbound would then start reading more bytes than
    necessary until it finds a non-'0x00' byte. Based on the underlying memory allocator and the memory
    layout, it could lead to heap overflow while reading followed by a crash. Likelihood of a crash is low,
    since it relies heavily on the underlying memory allocator and the memory layout. If the heap overflow
    does not happen, Unbound's later packet checks will deny the packet. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch with
    a fix to bound reading in the given buffer space.(CVE-2026-32792)

    In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.4.22 up to and including 1.25.1, UDP source port is randomized and intended to
    serve as a secret value that increases the entropy of DNS transactions. When resolver load balancing
    policies depend on the source port while their outcome is revealed this secrecy is undermined. The
    vulnerability arises when the load balancing policy is consistent with respect to the incoming source UDP
    port and IP address while heavily depending on the incoming source UDP port as a randomization source.
    When the SO_REUSEPORT configuration option is enabled ('so-reuseport: yes') in Unbound (by default), it
    meets these conditions, making it vulnerable for DNS cache poisoning attacks. Upon startup, Unbound
    randomly partitions the available UDP source port space into disjoint subsets of (almost) equal size,
    assigning each subset to a specific worker thread. When an incoming DNS query is received, the kernel's
    SO_REUSEPORT load balancing mechanism deterministically assigns the query to a socket associated with a
    particular thread. All outgoing DNS queries generated during the resolution of that request use source
    ports selected exclusively from the port subset assigned to the corresponding thread. Since these port
    subsets are disjoint across threads, the source port observed in a resolver's outgoing query to an
    authoritative name server serves as a reliable indicator of the worker thread that processed the original
    client query. A malicious actor can acquire the mapping between incoming UDP source ports (for a given
    fixed source IP address) and Unbound worker threads and leverage it to conduct DNS cache poisoning attacks
    by effectively lowering the random port population per thread.(CVE-2026-50252)

    NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.25.0 has a vulnerability in the DNSSEC validator where
    the code path to consult the negative cache for DS records does not take into account the limit on NSEC3
    hash calculations introduced in 1.19.1. This leads to degradation of service during the attack. An
    adversary that controls a DNSSEC signed zone can exploit this by signing NSEC3 records with acceptably
    high iterations for child delegations and querying a vulnerable Unbound. Unbound will keep performing the
    allowed hash calculations on the NSEC3 records and will not limit the work by the mitigation introduced in
    1.19.1. As a side effect, a global lock for the negative cache will be held for the duration of the
    hashing, blocking other threads that need to consult the negative cache. Coordinated attacks could raise
    the vulnerability to denial of service. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch with a fix to bound the vulnerable
    code path with the existing limit for NSEC3 hash calculations.(CVE-2026-42923)

    NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.25.0 has a vulnerability in the jostle logic that could
    defeat its purpose and degrade resolution performance. Retransmits of the same query could renew the age
    of slow running queries and not allow the jostle logic to see them as aged and potential targets for
    replacement with new queries. An adversary who can query a vulnerable Unbound and who can control a domain
    name server that replies slowly and/or maliciously to Unbound's queries can exploit the vulnerability and
    degrade the resolution performance of Unbound. When Unbound's 'num-queries-per-thread' reaches its limit,
    the jostle logic kicks in. When a new query comes in, half of the available queries that are also slow to
    resolve are candidates for replacement. The vulnerability then happens because duplicate queries that need
    resolution would skew the aging result by using the timestamp of the latest duplicate query instead of the
    original one that started the resolution effort. Cache and local data response performance remains
    unaffected. Coordinated attacks could raise this to a denial of resolution service. Unbound 1.25.1
    contains a patch with a fix to attach an initial, non-updatable start time for incoming queries that allow
    the jostle logic to work as intended.(CVE-2026-42534)
