"The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1791261872 advisory.

  - In NLnetLabs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a degradation of service vulnerability is present in the
    TCP/DoT reading procedure where there is no limit on consecutive reads. A malicious actor that can stream
    and sustain a rate of distinct uncached names over the TCP/DoT connection, monopolizes a single worker's
    entire event loop for as long as its writes stay ahead of the drain. (CVE-2026-80225)

  - In NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a 255 length query name with a large TCP response can
    lead to a heap buffer overflow during the RRSet canonicalisation routine. This is caused by missing to add
    the first owner name into the buffer length check. A malicious actor operating a malicious name server or
    tampering with an incoming response to Unbound (canonicalisation happens before DNSSEC validation), can
    trigger the vulnerability. (CVE-2026-81634)

  - 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.");
