Fedora 32: Unbound DoS and Loop Risks Critical Advisory

fedora
Calendar Grey May 23, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 32 is releasing a crucial update addressing Unbound DNS resolver vulnerabilities, enhancing security against DoS attacks and fixing malformed DNS responses.
Security fix for CVE-2020-12662 and CVE-2020-12663

Summary

Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS(SEC) resolver.

The C implementation of Unbound is developed and maintained by NLnet

Labs. It is based on ideas and algorithms taken from a java prototype

developed by Verisign labs, Nominet, Kirei and ep.net.

Unbound is designed as a set of modular components, so that also

DNSSEC (secure DNS) validation and stub-resolvers (that do not run

as a server, but are linked into an application) are easily possible.
