Unbound is susceptible to domain hijack attacks through the manipulation of DNS responses. Specifically, maliciously crafted NS Resource Record Sets (RRSets) included in replies can cause the resolver to update its delegation information, potentially leading to a zone transfer. An attacker could exploit this by injecting NS RRSets, possibly through packet spoofing or fragmentation attacks, causing Unbound to update its existing NS RRSet data due to the perceived trustworthiness of the injected information.

Insufficient validation of delegation information could lead to cache pollution in PowerDNS Recursor, a resolving name server. Updates will not be backported to the version of PDNS recursor in the oldstable distribution (bookworm).

Insufficient validation of delegation information could lead to cache pollution in PDNS Recursor, a resolving name server. The changes required to address this are too extensive to backport to the version of PDNS Recursor included in the oldstable distribution (bookworm).

The issue is related to insufficient authentication of data in the Windows DNS service, allowing a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks. This can affect the system, posing a significant threat. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not provided, and there is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
