TencentOS Server 3: unbound (TSSA-2023:0108)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239330

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2023:0108 advisory.

 Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

 CVE-2022-3204:
 A vulnerability was found in unbound. The attack can cause a resolver to spend a lot of time and resources resolving records under a malicious delegation point where a considerable number of unresponsive NS records reside. This issue can trigger high CPU usage in some resolver implementations that continually look in the cache for resolved NS records in that delegation, leading to degraded performance and, eventually, a denial of service in orchestrated attacks.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent 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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
