"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1780479714 advisory.
- NLnet Labs Unbound 1.16.2 up to and including version 1.25.0 has a vulnerability of the 'ghost domain
names' family of attacks that could extend the ghost domain window by up to one cached TTL configured
value. Similar to other 'ghost domain names' attacks, an adversary needs to control a (ghost) zone and be
able to query a vulnerable Unbound. A single client NS query can cause Unbound to overwrite the cached
expired parent-side referral NS rrset with the child-side apex NS rrset and essentially extend the ghost
domain window by up to one cached TTL configured value ('cache-max-ttl'). In configurations where 'harden-
referral-path: yes' is used (non-default configuration), no client NS query is required since Unbound
implicitly performs that query. Unbound 1.25.1 contains a patch with a fix that does not allow extension
of TTLs for (parent) NS records regardless of their trust. (CVE-2026-40622)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
