CVE-2024-1488

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Unbound (affected versions not specified)

Description A vulnerability was found in Unbound due to incorrect default permissions, allowing any process outside the unbound group to modify the unbound runtime configuration. If a process can connect over localhost to port 8953, it can alter the configuration of unbound.service. This flaw allows an unprivileged attacker to manipulate a running instance, potentially altering forwarders, allowing them to track all queries forwarded by the local resolver, and, in some cases, disrupting resolving altogether.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
