{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-55717","details":"In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.10.0 up to and including 1.25.1, when 'serve-expired: yes' is set together with a 'response-ip: \u003cnet\u003e redirect' /'response-ip-data: \u003cnet\u003e CNAME \u003ctarget\u003e' rule (or the RPZ 'rpz-cname-override' equivalent), a remote client who controls any delegated domain can crash the daemon. The serve-expired-client-timeout callback runs a two-pass loop to chase the respip-generated CNAME alias; on the second pass it resets 'alias_rrset' but not 'partial_rep'. Later, this inconsistency leads to a NULL pointer dereference and an eventual crash. A malicious actor can exploit the vulnerability by controlling any zone that replies with an A/AAAA record that falls inside the configured response-ip/rpz subnet. By delaying the answer when the previous record has expired, the vulnerable path of 'serve-expired-client-timeout' is taken leading to denial of service via the server crash.","modified":"2026-09-19T16:00:10.464310004Z","published":"2026-07-22T14:17:21.537Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-55717"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-55717"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"unbound","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/unbound?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.17.1-2","1.17.1-2+deb12u1","1.17.1-2+deb12u2","1.17.1-2+deb12u3","1.17.1-2+deb12u4","1.17.1-2+loong64","1.18.0-1","1.18.0-2","1.19.1-1","1.19.2-1","1.20.0-1","1.21.1-1","1.22.0-1","1.22.0-2","1.23.1-1","1.24.0-1","1.24.0-2","1.24.1-1","1.24.1-2","1.24.2-1","1.25.0-1","1.25.1-1","1.25.2-1","1.26.0-1","1.26.0-2","1.26.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-55717.json"}},{"package":{"name":"unbound","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/unbound?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.26.1-0+deb13u1"}]}],"versions":["1.22.0-2","1.22.0-2+deb13u1","1.22.0-2+deb13u2","1.22.0-2+deb13u3","1.23.1-1","1.24.0-1","1.24.0-2","1.24.1-1","1.24.1-2","1.24.2-1","1.25.0-1","1.25.1-1","1.25.2-1","1.26.0-1","1.26.0-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-55717.json"}},{"package":{"name":"unbound","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/unbound?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.25.2-1"}]}],"versions":["1.22.0-2","1.23.1-1","1.24.0-1","1.24.0-2","1.24.1-1","1.24.1-2","1.24.2-1","1.25.0-1","1.25.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-55717.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
