"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1790962865 advisory.
- In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.13.2 up to and including 1.26.1, a vulnerability in ZONEMD configured zones
(zonemd-check: yes) which are located below (but not at) a trust anchor allow for an attack window where
(tampered with) zone contents are served (or stored to disk) prior to the ZONEMD integrity check. This is
caused by the needed DS/DNSKEY asynchronous resolution that needs to happen before the ZONEMD check
completes. If a zonefile is written to disk (zonefile: option) while the ZONEMD check failed, the tampered
data are reloaded on startup and available until ZONEMD verification concludes again. If verification
fails, the data is not served any more but still persists on disk for future reloads. (CVE-2026-77955)
- NLnet Labs Unbound 1.12.0 up to and including 1.26.0 has a use-after-free vulnerability when compiled for
DNS-over-HTTPs support with '--with-libnghttp2'. During failure code paths (i.e., RPZ drop query, jostle
due to heavy traffic), a dropped DoH stream brings down the whole DoH session and does not account
properly for other DoH streams in the same session. This leads to use-after-free in those code paths. If
the prerequisites are satisfied (possible RPZ drop or heavy client traffic), a malicious actor can trigger
the vulnerability with a single DoH connection and the appropriate traffic. Impact is limited as the reads
are not user controlled and the use-after-free leads to early returns. However, a hardened allocator can
catch the use-after-free and controllably terminate the process resulting to denial of service.
(CVE-2026-82720)
- Novel vulnerabilities to launch algorithmic complexity attacks on DNSSEC have been researched under the
term 'ReTrap'. These result in degradation of service when malicious zones are used to serve the
algorithmic complexity vulnerabilities. NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0 is vulnerable to
some of them. TagTrap, where the triple(Zone, Algo, KeyTag) matching mechanism introduces a significant
attack vector when resolvers handle malicious responses containing numerous mismatched DNSKEY, RRSIG, and
DS record. DelegationTrap, where constructing the chain-of-trust requires iterative validation of DNSKEY
and DS records from the root zone downward. For deeply nested domains, this results in significant
computational overhead. NsecTrap, where responses with excessive invalid NSEC records compel the resolver
to validate each one. AdditionalTrap, where Unbound by default would try to DNSSEC validate the ADDITIONAL
section as well. This can be exploited to waste validation resources by malicious users. (CVE-2026-85501)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
