"According to its self-reported version number, the remote Unbound DNS
resolver is affected by a denial of service vulnerability due improper
error handling. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this,
via a specially crafted DNS request, to cause an assertion failure and
a daemon exit, resulting in a denial of service condition. Note that
this vulnerability only exists when debugging functionality is enabled
(e.g. --enable-checking' or '--enable-debug') and the
interface-automatic option is turned on.

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