"CVE-2020-12662

Unbound before 1.10.1 has Insufficient Control of Network Message
Volume, aka an 'NXNSAttack' issue. This is triggered by random
subdomains in the NSDNAME in NS records.

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

Impact

There are three types of DNS cache configurations available on the
BIG-IP system: a transparent cache, a resolver cache, and a validating
resolver cache. Only BIG-IP systems licensed for DNS services and
using the DNS Cache feature are vulnerable.

Notes :

The DNS Cache feature is available only when you licensethe BIG-IP
systemfor DNS Services, but you do NOT have to provisionthe BIG-IP GTM
or BIG-IP DNS moduleon your BIG-IP system.

Starting with BIG-IP 12.0.0, F5 renamed BIG-IP GTM to BIG-IP DNS.

DNS Express does not use Unbound and is not vulnerable to either
CVE-2020-12662 or CVE-2020-12663.

CVE-2020-12662

When the DNS Cache feature is enabled on the BIG-IP system, an
attacker may exploit this vulnerability to generate a large number of
communications between the BIG-IP system and the victim's
authoritative DNS server to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.

Note : For more information about NXNSAttack, refer to the NXNSAttack
research paper.

CVE-2020-12663

A remote attacker may be able to perform a DoS attack on a DNS cache
configured on the BIG-IP system by causing Unbound to become
unresponsive.");
