Critical 9.1CVE-2026-81642 Public exploit
Heap buffer overflow and possible Remote Code Execution when digesting DNSKEY
In NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a vulnerability was found in the DNSSEC validator that enables denial of service and possible remote code execution as a result of digesting DNSKEYs. A DNSKEY with an owner compression pointer to its own RDATA…

High 8.4
CNAME synthesis could lead to heap corruption
In NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a vulnerability was found in that can progressively corrupt heap memory and under certain systems and compilation options could lead to remote code execution. The vulnerability starts when CNAME synthesis duri…

High 7.5
Possible heap buffer overflow during DNSSEC canonicalization
In NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a 255 length query name with a large TCP response can lead to a heap buffer overflow during the RRSet canonicalisation routine. This is caused by missing to add the first owner name into the buffer length chec…
