==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 25.04

Summary:

The Unbound cache could be poisoned if it received specially crafted
network traffic.

Software Description:
- unbound: validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver

Details:

(ECS) in certain configurations. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to perform a cache poisoning attack called Rebirthday Attack.
