{"id":"AZL-92985","summary":"CVE-2026-41637 affecting package unbound for versions less than 1.25.2-1","details":"In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.22.0 up to and including 1.25.1, client terminated DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) queries are not accounted properly by Unbound resulting in low-cost inflation of the waiting number of replies for already in-flight resolution queries. This results in degradation of resolution service for new clients for already in-flight queries. A malicious actor can exploit the vulnerability by issuing DoQ queries for query names that need resolution and proceeding on immediately terminating the query by one of STOP_SENDING/RESET_STREAM/CONNECTION_CLOSE QUIC frames. Those terminated DoQ queries are not properly counted for and keep inflating the number of waiting replies for in-flight queries. When the maximum is reached, it results in silent query drops for new clients needing resolution for already in-flight queries. This vulnerability needs Unbound to be compiled with DoQ support ('--with-libngtcp2') and the 'quic-port' to be configured for the listening interfaces. Additionally, a malicious actor needs access to multiple source IPs to bypass the by-default configured 'wait-limit' option.","modified":"2026-08-28T17:47:47.805033456Z","published":"2026-07-22T14:17:18Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-41637"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41637"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"unbound","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/unbound"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.25.2-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-92985.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
