Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Unbound (affected versions not specified)
Description
A multi-vendor cache poisoning vulnerability, named 'Rebirthday Attack', has been discovered in caching resolvers that support EDNS Client Subnet (ECS). Unbound is vulnerable when compiled with ECS support (i.e., '--enable-subnet') and configured to send ECS information to upstream name servers (i.e., at least one of the 'send-client-subnet', 'client-subnet-zone', or 'client-subnet-always-forward' options is used). This allows malicious actors to potentially match DNS transaction IDs and cache poisonous replies.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
