"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has unbound packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:

  - NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.21.0 contains a vulnerability when handling replies with
    very large RRsets that it needs to perform name compression for. Malicious upstreams responses with very
    large RRsets 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. The vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious actor 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. Unbound version 1.21.1 introduces a hard limit on the number of name compression
    calculations it is willing to do per packet. Packets that need more compression will result in semi-
    compressed packets or truncated packets, even on TCP for huge messages, to avoid locking the CPU for long.
    This change should not affect normal DNS traffic. (CVE-2024-8508)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
