CVE-2026-11721 Cache poisoning possible with label count discrepancy, RRSIG, and wildcards

It is possible for an attacker's zone to respond to a query with an RRSIG that has a smaller number of labels than the zone in which the RRSIG is contained. This causes named to produce a wildcard name for a zone that is shorter than the attacker's zone, which can result in cache poisoning. For...

CVE-2026-11622

A DNSSEC validating resolver that is under a random subdomain attack against a DNSSEC-signed zone can suffer from runaway memory usage. The attacker needs to be able to send queries faster than the resolver can perform validation. The increased memory usage can be orders of magnitude beyond the...

CVE-2026-50252

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.4.22 up to and including 1.25.1, the UDP source port is used as a secrecy element to increase DNS transaction entropy. When SO_REUSEPORT is enabled (default) and load balancing depends on the source port and IP address, this secrecy can be undermined. On startup Unbound pa...

CVE-2026-50252

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.4.22 up to and including 1.25.1, UDP source port is randomized and intended to serve as a secret value that increases the entropy of DNS transactions. When resolver load balancing policies depend on the source port while their outcome is revealed this secrecy is undermined...

CVE-2026-50251

This entry describes a vulnerability in NLnet Labs Unbound (≤ 1.25.1) where enabling unwanted-reply-threshold (>0) allows a malicious delegation returning in-bailiwick glue 0.0.0.0/::0 to cause repeated, seemingly unwanted replies. The mismatch between 0.0.0.0/::0 and the local 127.0.0.1 persp...

CVE-2026-46582

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.6.0 up to and including 1.25.1, a replay of a wildcard rrset as another piece of data, could be briefly considered DNSSEC secure based only on the RRSIG validation and stored into cache, before later validation treats it as bogus based on NSEC validation. When the resolvin...
