- Fix that dns64 cleans up the allocated message if the adjust
routines fail, and checks if there is a reply before cache
store, also unbound checks if A and AAAA are malformed
for auth-zones. Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks,
for the report.
- Fix that dump_cache has a larger buffer for records,
and it checks that an owner name does not collide with BADRR
on the input, and changes verbosity on the log of failure in
rrset to string. Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks,
for the report.
- Fix that quotation and escaping works the same in auth-zone
url content, as in the zonefile read. Thanks to Qifan Zhang,
Palo Alto Networks for the report.
- Fix negative cache to work with NSEC3 records without salt.
Thanks to Xin Wang, Jiapeng Li, and Jiajia Liu, Northwestern
Polytechnical University, for the report.
- Fix that the processing of class responses does not have
a heap use-after-free. That could happen if at least two
distinct classes are configured for resolution. Thanks
to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks for the report.
In addition, thanks to Xin Wang, Jiapeng Li, and Jiajia
Liu, Northwestern Polytechnical University, for also
reporting this.
- Fix that validator caps number of ANY RRsets it can
validate, and the wait timer is shortened. Thanks to Qifan
Zhang, Palo Alto Networks, for the report.
- Fix ipset module for name too long checks, race conditions
on local name buffer, and for socket close race condition.
Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks, for the report.
- Fix manual to document ratelimit, that it is for target
nameservers for a domain, and keeps queries limited. Thanks
to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks, for the report.
- Fix for mesh new client and mesh new callback to rollback the
added address, tcp mesh state and callback when there is a failure
to initialize. This fixes the mesh accounting of reply addresses.
Thanks to Xin Wang, Jiapeng Li, and Jiajia Liu, Northwestern
Polytechnical University, for the report
- Fix for signed same-owner CNAME and ordinary RRset responses.
Thanks to Xin Wang and Jiajia Liu, Northwestern Polytechnical
University, for the report.
Changelog entry.
- Fix CVE-2026-44390, Unbounded name compression in certain cases
causes degradation of service. Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto
Networks, for the report.
- Fix CVE-2026-44390, Unbounded name compression in certain cases
causes degradation of service. Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto
Networks, for the report.
- Fix CVE-2026-42960, Possible cache poisoning attack while following
delegation. Thanks to TaoFei Guo from Peking University, Yang Luo
and JianJun Chen, Tsinghua University, for the report.
- Fix CVE-2026-41292, Parsing a long list of incoming EDNS options
degrades performance. Thanks to GitHub user 'N0zoM1z0', also Qifan
Zhang from Palo Alto Networks, for the report.
- Fix CVE-2026-42944, Heap overflow and crash with multiple nsid,
cookie, padding EDNS options. Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto
Networks, for the report.
- Fix for mixed class referrals, the resolver uses the query
class. Thanks to Xin Wang and Jiajia Liu, Northwestern
Polytechnical University, for the report.
- Fix DNSKEY size calculation for noncanonical RSA DNSKEYs
with leading zeroes for n. Thanks to Xin Wang and Jiajia Liu,
Northwestern Polytechnical University, for the report.
- Fix DNSSEC validation with libnettle for noncanonical RSA
DNSKEYs with leading zeroes for n. Thanks to Xin Wang and
Jiajia Liu, Northwestern Polytechnical University, for
the report.
- Fix for allocation-failure hardening of rrset cache wildcard
storage and canonical NSEC owner replacement. Thanks to Xin
Wang and Jiajia Liu, Northwestern Polytechnical University,
for the report.
- Fix that for dns64 answers, the AAAA query is checked to be
DNSSEC validated, when DNSSEC is enabled. This improves
the RFC6147 conformance of Unbound. Thanks to Xin Wang
and Jiajia Liu, Northwestern Polytechnical University, for
the report. In addition, thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto
Networks, for reporting it.
- Fix val_find_DS for robustness, to check the result of
packet_rrset_copy_region before using it. Thanks to Xin Wang
and Jiajia Liu, Northwestern Polytechnical University, for
the report.
- Fix for Heap Out-of-Bounds Write via size_t-to-int Truncation
in setup_if() - outside_network_create(). This fixes that
large values for num_ports do not overflow and create
invalid references after integer truncation. Thanks
to Karnakar Reddy (@karnakarreddi) for the report.
- Fix handling of wildcard CNAMEs in the chain of trust.
An improper wildcard in the chain of trust would send
the retries to the wrong upstream. Also it could label
the step in the chain of trust as secure, when it was not.
Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks for the report.
- Fix that a DNAME with an unsigned CNAME is checked for
the correct match. This stops that for certain zone
configurations an unchecked unsigned CNAME could get
secure status. Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks
for the report.
- Fix that upstream TLS connections are not reused as TLS
connections for a different name, at the same IP. This
checks that the tls name is correct when reusing the
upstream connections. Thanks to TaoFei Guo from Peking
University and JianJun Chen from Tsinghua University for
the report.
- Fix for missing bounds check for decompressing dnames
for downloaded authority zones. This fixes that the server
could end up with malformed zone content after receiving
truncated packet contents from an AXFR. In addition, the
domain names in the SOA rdata are checked before the
authority code picks up the zone serial.
Thanks to Halil Oktay for the report.
- Fix for iterator RCODE handling of YXDOMAIN. This fixes
that the server only accepts YXDOMAIN answers that contain
a DNAME record. This stops bad answers, and checks that
the authoritative server gives correct replies.
Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks for the report.
- Fix EDNS extended RCODE reflection. This fixes that
the server does not echo extended rcode values after class
chaos queries. Thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks
for the report.
- Fix for the Jiggle Attack. The server is fixed to answer
with errors for error cases, and does not stay silent.
In addition, the error replies do not contain parts of the
incoming query. This is more conformant, stops reflection
and stops it as a covert channel. Thanks to Yuqi Qiu and
Xiang Li, Nankai University (AOSP Lab) for the report.
In addition, thanks to Qifan Zhang, Palo Alto Networks, for
noting the fingerprinting possibility, that is also fixed
with this.
