There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.22.0 up to and including 1.25.1, client terminated DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) queries are
    not accounted properly by Unbound resulting in low-cost inflation of the waiting number of replies for
    already in-flight resolution queries. This results in degradation of resolution service for new clients
    for already in-flight queries. A malicious actor can exploit the vulnerability by issuing DoQ queries for
    query names that need resolution and proceeding on immediately terminating the query by one of
    STOP_SENDING/RESET_STREAM/CONNECTION_CLOSE QUIC frames. Those terminated DoQ queries are not properly
    counted for and keep inflating the number of waiting replies for in-flight queries. When the maximum is
    reached, it results in silent query drops for new clients needing resolution for already in-flight
    queries. This vulnerability needs Unbound to be compiled with DoQ support ('--with-libngtcp2') and the
    'quic-port' to be configured for the listening interfaces. Additionally, a malicious actor needs access to
    multiple source IPs to bypass the by-default configured 'wait-limit' option. (CVE-2026-41637)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

    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.
