New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

It was possible to obtain the version number of the remote DNS server.

Description

The remote host is running the Unbound DNS resolver.

Note that the version detected is not necessarily accurate and could even be forged, as some DNS servers send the information based on a configuration file.
