CVE-2020-28935
Unbound contains a local vulnerability that would allow for a local symlink
attack. When writing the PID file Unbound creates the file if it is not
there, or opens an existing file for writing. In case the file was already
present, it would follow symlinks if the file happened to be a symlink
instead of a regular file.
