"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1780312843 advisory.
- NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.24.1 is vulnerable to possible domain hijack attacks.
Promiscuous NS RRSets that complement positive DNS replies in the authority section can be used to trick
resolvers to update their delegation information for the zone. Usually these RRSets are used to update the
resolver's knowledge of the zone's name servers. A malicious actor can exploit the possible poisonous
effect by injecting NS RRSets (and possibly their respective address records) in a reply. This could be
done for example by trying to spoof a packet or fragmentation attacks. Unbound would then proceed to
update the NS RRSet data it already has since the new data has enough trust for it, i.e., in-zone data for
the delegation point. Unbound 1.24.1 includes a fix that scrubs unsolicited NS RRSets (and their
respective address records) from replies mitigating the possible poison effect. Unbound 1.24.2 includes an
additional fix that scrubs unsolicited NS RRSets (and their respective address records) from YXDOMAIN and
non-referral nodata replies, further mitigating the possible poison effect. (CVE-2025-11411)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
