"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104804 advisory.
In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.7.0 up to and including 1.25.1, when the 'dnscrypt:' clause lists more 'dnscrypt-
provider-cert:' files than there are matching 'dnscrypt-secret-key:' files, Unbound fills only the matched
prefix and leaves the tail slots at the '0xdb' fill that libsodium's allocator writes into every
allocation. Unbound would then iterate over the number of cert files, not the actual slots, so it walks
into a slot with garbage data filled with '0xdb' bytes. Any unauthenticated client that sends one UDP
datagram of 68 bytes whose first 8 bytes are '0xdb' to 'dnscrypt-port' will use that garbage entry
which leads to a garbage dereference killing the server. This is a silent faulty configuration that goes
unnoticed until triggered with the right client query. Unbound needs to be compiled with DNSCrypt support
('--enable-dnscrypt').
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
