unbound: Unbound: Denial of Service via crafted DNSCrypt query

A flaw was found in Unbound, a domain name system DNS resolver. When Unbound is configured with DNSCrypt support, a remote attacker could send a specially crafted DNSCrypt query over TCP. This malicious query could cause a memory error, leading to a server crash and a Denial of Service DoS. This...
