Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Unbound, a validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver, which could result in denial of service, cache poisoning, DNS cookie bypass or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.26.1-0+deb13u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your unbound packages.
