"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-104817 advisory.
In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.16.2 up to and including 1.25.1, a similar vulnerability as with CVE-2026-40622 in
the 'ghost domain names' family of attacks was found in Unbound that could extend the ghost domain window
by up to one cached TTL configured value for A/AAAA glue records. 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 A/AAAA query can cause Unbound to overwrite the cached expired parent-side glue 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 query is
required since Unbound implicitly performs that query. This is a variant of CVE-2026-40622 which only
addressed the NS query.
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.");
