NLnet Labs Unbound versions 1.23.0 through 1.25.1, when configured with 'dns-error-reporting: yes', contain a vulnerability involving improper handling of the EDNS Report-Channel option. This flaw causes Unbound to read beyond the intended domain name length, leading to a stack variable overwrite and daemon termination. The vulnerability results in a denial of service condition.

A cache poisoning vulnerability (CVE-2026-44690) exists in NLnet Labs Unbound DNS resolver versions 1.7.0 up to and including 1.25.1 due to insufficient validation of the RRSIG.Labels field combined with premature cache writes. This flaw could allow an attacker to poison the DNS cache. Additionally, a denial of service issue via malformed EDNS Report-Channel option (CVE-2026-55973) is noted. Red Hat has issued an important security update for affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 versions to address these issues.

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.23.0 up to and including 1.25.1, when 'dns-error-reporting: yes' is set, the EDNS Report-Channel option (code 18) from the last upstream response is read and uses the option's length as the length of the agent domain. When a domain name check is performed on the agent domain, the returned lenght is not used and if the agent domain is followed by garbage, those bytes are moved onto the tail of the synthetic '_er.' report query name. That query name is later used in the iterator via a subquery to send out the DNS Error Report and when Unbound tries to walk that query name during 'find_closest_of_type()', it strips labels using the query name length rather than stopping at the embedded root, walks one byte past it, and feeds the first garbage byte to 'dname_query_hash()' as a label length writing over the stack variable 'labuf'. One ordinary upstream response from a delegated zone the attacker controls is sufficient to terminate the daemon.
