The version of unbound installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-43168 advisory.

  • A heap-buffer-overflow flaw was found in the cfg_mark_ports function within Unbound’s config_file.c, which can lead to memory corruption. This issue could allow an attacker with local access to provide specially crafted input, potentially causing the application to crash or allowing arbitrary code execution. This could result in a denial of service or unauthorized actions on the system. (CVE-2024-43168)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
