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.

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.22.0 up to and including 1.25.1, in DNS-over-QUIC environments, with high concurrency and under pressure, an assertion in libngtcp2 about monotonic timestamps could trigger and result in server termination and thus denial of service. When interfacing with libngtcp2, for...

CVE-2026-55991

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.22.0 up to and including 1.25.1, a remote unauthenticated client can trigger a libngtcp2 assertion if compiled with assertions on and terminate the entire Unbound process using a single DNS-over-QUIC DoQ connection and one normal DNS query. This is caused by an erroneous...

EUVD-2026-47680

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.10.0 up to and including 1.25.1, when 'serve-expired: yes' is set together with a 'response-ip: redirect' /'response-ip-data: CNAME ' rule or the RPZ 'rpz-cname-override' equivalent, a remote client who controls any delegated domain can crash the daemon. The...

CVE-2026-54478 DNS Cookie bypass when combined with proxy-protocol use

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.18.0 up to and including 1.25.1, when Unbound listens on a 'proxy-protocol-port' interface with 'answer-cookie: yes', the RFC 9018 server-cookie SipHash is computed over the proxy's wire address instead of the PROXYv2-declared client. One server cookie obtained through a...
