"The remote Fedora 35 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
FEDORA-2022-204ee3da84 advisory.
- A vulnerability named 'Non-Responsive Delegation Attack' (NRDelegation Attack) has been discovered in
various DNS resolving software. The NRDelegation Attack works by having a malicious delegation with a
considerable number of non responsive nameservers. The attack starts by querying a resolver for a record
that relies on those unresponsive nameservers. The attack can cause a resolver to spend a lot of
time/resources resolving records under a malicious delegation point where a considerable number of
unresponsive NS records reside. It can trigger high CPU usage in some resolver implementations that
continually look in the cache for resolved NS records in that delegation. This can lead to degraded
performance and eventually denial of service in orchestrated attacks. Unbound does not suffer from high
CPU usage, but resources are still needed for resolving the malicious delegation. Unbound will keep trying
to resolve the record until hard limits are reached. Based on the nature of the attack and the replies,
different limits could be reached. From version 1.16.3 on, Unbound introduces fixes for better performance
when under load, by cutting opportunistic queries for nameserver discovery and DNSKEY prefetching and
limiting the number of times a delegation point can issue a cache lookup for missing records.
(CVE-2022-3204)

number.");
