Unbound 1.23.1
July 16, 2025
This security release fixes the Rebirthday Attack CVE-2025-5994.
This re-opens up resolvers to a birthday paradox, for EDNS client subnet
servers that respond with non-ECS answers. It only affects Unbound when
compiled with --enable-subnet, and subnetmod is enabled with config
options that send ECS information to upstream servers.
The CVE is described here
https://nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/unbound/CVE-2025-5994.txt
We would like to thank Xiang Li (AOSP Lab, Nankai University) for
discovering and responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.

AOSP Lab Nankai University.
Unbound 1.23.0
Apr 24, 2025
This release features changed defaults, fast reload, redis replica,
DNS Error Reporting, and bug fixes.
The fast reload is a feature that is listed as experimental. With
unbound-control fast_reload the server can read the new config in
a thread, and when done only briefly pauses the server to update the
settings. This uses double memory, for like zones from disk or config
that is loaded. It only pauses the server, for like less than a second,
so DNS service is not interrupted by the reload of config. A lot of
config items can be changed, but not all. It has options to print
more information, or memory usage, and there is a list of config
options in the man page.
The redis replica support allows for a redis backend to use a redis
replica. The read commands are sent to the redis replica host, while
the write commands are sent to the redis server. So with several
replicas there can be more readers that all write to the redis server.
With DNS error reporting, RFC9567, enabled with
dns-error-reporting: yes, this uses the error reporting agent to send
failure reports to. The number of error reporting queries is output in
the statistics as num.dns_error_reports.
Some defaults are changed in this release. The resolver.arpa. and
service.arpa. zones are added to the default locally served zones,
this can be disabled with a nodefault local zone. The default for
max-global-quota has changed to 200, after operational feedback.
The defaults from RFC8767 are used by serve-expired-client-timeout
on 1800 milliseconds and serve-expired-ttl on 86400 seconds. If
Unbound is compiled with edns subnet, the default for module-config
is no longer altered, so that compilation with subnet does not
interfere when the server does not use subnet. When edns subnet needs
to be enabled, module-config: "subnetcache validator iterator" should
be explicitly set as configuration in the server: section.
If edns subnet is enabled, the default for
module-config is no longer altered, so that compilation with subnet
does not interfere when the server does not use subnet. When edns subnet
is in use, also module-config: "subnetcache validator iterator" should
be set as configuration in the server: section.
The RC2 has fixes for building on Solaris and portability to Windows,
and fixes a memory leak for DoH.
Features
Increase the default of max-global-quota to 200 from 128 after
operational feedback. Still keeping the possible amplification
factor (CAMP related issues) in the hundreds.
Fix #1175: serve-expired does not adhere to secure-by-default
principle. The default value of serve-expired-client-timeout
is set to 1800 as suggested by RFC8767.
For #1175, the default value of serve-expired-ttl is set to 86400
(1 day) as suggested by RFC8767.
For #1207: [FR] Support for RESINFO RRType 261 (RFC9606), add
LDNS_RR_TYPE_RESINFO similar to LDNS_RR_TYPE_TXT.
Add resolver.arpa and service.arpa to the default locally served
zones.
Merge #1042: Fast Reload. The unbound-control fast_reload is added.
It reads changed config in a thread, then only briefly pauses the
service threads, that keep running. DNS service is only interrupted
briefly, less than a second.
Merge #1019: Redis read-only replica support.
Introduces new 'redis-replica-*' options for the Redis cache backend.
Merge #902: DNS Error Reporting (RFC 9567). Introduces new
configuration option 'dns-error-reporting' and new statistics for
'num.dns_error_reports'.

Unbound 1.22.0
Oct 17, 2024
This release has an option to harden against unverified glue, it
is enabled with harden-unverified-glue: yes. It was contributed
by Karthik Umashankar from Microsoft. This protects Unbound against
bad glue, that is out of zone, by performing a lookup for it.
Because it uses the original information as a last resort if nothing
works, it should not give lookup failures, and add protection.
There are options to configure the scrubbing for NS records and
the CNAME scrubbing and the max global quota lookup limit from
previous security fix releases. They can be configured with the
options iter-scrub-ns, iter-scrub-cname and max-global-quota.
For redis use, with cachedb, it is possible to specify the
timeout for the initial connection separately from the timeout
for commands. With the options redis-command-timeout: 20 and
redis-connect-timeout: 200 they can be set separately, for
a longer connect attempt, but a short command timeout to keep
resolution faster.
It is possible to log with ISO8601 format with log-time-iso: yes
this also logs time in milliseconds. Useful if the server writes to
file, syslog may have its own format.
DNS over QUIC is support is added, if compiled with libngtcp2 and
with the openssl+quic that it uses. Use --with-libngtcp2 for that,
and enable it with quic-port: 853. There is a post about it
on https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/dns-over-quic-in-unbound [that is to
appear after the release].
Features
Add iter-scrub-ns, iter-scrub-cname and max-global-quota
configuration options.
Merge patch to fix for glue that is outside of zone, with
harden-unverified-glue, from Karthik Umashankar (Microsoft).
Enabling this option protects the Unbound resolver against bad
glue, that is unverified out of zone glue, by resolving them.
It uses the records as last resort if there is no other working
glue.
Add redis-command-timeout: 20 and redis-connect-timeout: 200,
that can set the timeout separately for commands and the
connection set up to the redis server. If they are not
specified, the redis-timeout value is used.
Fix #1144: [FR] log timestamps in ISO8601 format with timezone.
This adds the option log-time-iso: yes that logs in ISO8601
format.
Merge #871: DNS over QUIC. This adds quic-port: 853 and
quic-size: 8m that enable dnsoverquic, and the counters
num.query.quic and mem.quic in the statistics output.
The feature needs to be enabled by compiling with libngtcp2,
with --with-libngtcp2=path and libngtcp2 needs openssl+quic,
pass that with --with-ssl=path to compile unbound as well.

Unbound 1.21.1
Oct 4, 2024
This security release fixes CVE-2024-8508.
A vulnerability has been discovered in Unbound when handling replies
with very large RRsets that Unbound needs to perform name compression
for.
Malicious upstreams responses with very large RRsets can cause Unbound
to spend a considerable time applying name compression to downstream
replies. This can lead to degraded performance and eventually denial of
service in well orchestrated attacks.
The vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious actor querying Unbound
for the specially crafted contents of a malicious zone with very large
RRsets.
Before Unbound replies to the query it will try to apply name
compression which was an unbounded operation that could lock the CPU
until the whole packet was complete.
Unbound version 1.21.1 introduces a hard limit on the number of name
compression calculations it is willing to do per packet.
Packets that need more compression will result in semi-compressed
packets or truncated packets, even on TCP for huge messages, to avoid
locking the CPU for long.
This change should not affect normal DNS traffic.
We would like to thank Toshifumi Sakaguchi for discovering and
responsibly disclosing the vulnerability.
Bug Fixes:
Fix CVE-2024-8508, unbounded name compression could lead to denial of
service.
Unbound 1.21.0
Aug 15, 2024
This release has a fix for the CAMP and CacheFlush issues. They have a
low severity for Unbound, since it does not affect Unbound so much.
The Compositional Amplification (CAMP) type of attacks can lead to DoS
attacks against DNS servers. In Unbound legitimate client requests to
the resolvers under typical workload are not directly affected by CAMP
attacks. However we introduce a global quota for 128 outgoing packets
per query (and it's subqueries) that is never reset to prevent the
combination of CAMP with other amplification attacks in the future. We
would like to thank Huayi Duan, Marco Bearzi, Jodok Vieli, and Cagin
Tanir from NetSec group, ETH Zurich for discovering and notifying us
about the issue.
The CacheFlush type of attacks (NSCacheFlush, CNAMECacheFlush) try to
evict cached data by utilizing rogue zones and a steady rogue stream to
a resolver. Based on the zone, the stream, the configured cache size
and the legitimate traffic, Unbound could experience a degradation of
service if a useful entry is evicted and Unbound needs to resolve again.
As a mitigation to the NSCacheFlush attack Unbound is setting a limit
of 20 RRs in an NS RRset. We would like to thank Yehuda Afek, Anat
Bremler-Barr, Shoham Danino and Yuval Shavitt (Tel-Aviv University and
Reichman University) for discovering and notifying us about the issue.
Other fixes in this release are bug fixes. Also the unbound control
commands that flush the cache can clear both the memory and cachedb
module cache. The ipset module can use BSD pf tables. The new option
dnstap-sample-rate: 100 can be used to log 1/N messages, for use in
high volume server environments where the log server does not keep up.
The new DNSSEC key for the root, 38696 from 2024 has been added. It is
added to the default root keys in unbound-anchor. The content can be
inspected with unbound-anchor -l. Older versions of Unbound can keep
up with the root key with auto-trust-anchor-file that has RFC5011
key rollover. Also unbound-anchor can fetch the keys from the website
with a certificate if needed.
For cookie secrets, it is possible to perform rollover. The file
with cookie secret in use and the staging secret is configured
with cookie-secret-file. With the remote control the rollover can be
performed, add_cookie_secret, activate_cookie_secret, drop_cookie_secret
and print_cookie_secrets can be used for that.
Compared to the RC1, the release has a fix for module loading on Windows,
and a spelling correction.
Features
Fix #1071: [FR] Clear both in-memory and cachedb module cache with
unbound-control flush* commands.
Fix #144: Port ipset to BSD pf tables.
Add dnstap-sample-rate that logs only 1/N messages, for high volume
server environments. Thanks Dan Luther.
Add root key 38696 from 2024 for DNSSEC validation. It is added
to the default root keys in unbound-anchor. The content can be
inspected with unbound-anchor -l.
Merge #1090: Cookie secret file. Adds
cookie-secret-file: "unbound_cookiesecrets.txt" option to store
cookie secrets for EDNS COOKIE secret rollover. The remote control
add_cookie_secret, activate_cookie_secret and drop_cookie_secret
commands can be used for rollover, the command print_cookie_secrets
shows the values in use.

Unbound 1.20.0
May 8, 2024
This release has a fix for the DNSBomb issue CVE-2024-33655. This has a
low severity for Unbound, since it makes Unbound complicit in targeting
others, but does not affect Unbound so much.
To mitigate the issue new configuration options are introduced.
The options discard-timeout: 1900, wait-limit: 1000
and wait-limit-cookie: 10000 are enabled by default. They limit the
number of outstanding queries that a querier can have. This limits
the reply pulse, and make Unbound less favorable for the issue.
With the config wait-limit-netblock and wait-limit-cookie-netblock
the parameters can be fine tuned for specific destinations.
More information on the attack and Unbound's mitigations are
presented further down.
Other fixes in this release are that Unbound no longer follows symlinks
when truncating the pidfile. Unbound also does not chown the pidfile,
this is for safety reasons. There are also a number of fixes for RPZ, in
handling CNAMEs. There is a memory leak fix for the edns client subnet
cache. For DNSSEC validation a case is fixed when the query is of type
DNAME. The unbound-anchor program is fixed to first write to a temporary
file, before replacing the original. This handles disk full situations,
and because of it unbound-anchor needs permission to create that file,
in the same directory as the original file. There is also a fix for
IP_DONTFRAG, to disable fragmentation instead of the opposite.
The option cache-min-negative-ttl can be used to set the minimum TTL
for negative responses in the cache. It complements existing options to
set the maximum ttl for negative responses and to set the minimum and
maximum ttl but not specifically for negative responses.
The option cachedb-check-when-serve-expired option makes Unbound use
cachedb to check for expired responses, when serve-expired is enabled,
and cachedb is used. It is enabled by default.
The -q option for unbound-checkconf can be added to silence it when
there are no errors.
The DNSBomb vulnerability CVE-2024-33655.
== Summary
The DNSBomb attack, via specially timed DNS queries and answers, can
cause a Denial of Service on resolvers and spoofed targets.
Unbound itself is not vulnerable for DoS, rather it can be used to take
part in a pulsing DoS amplification attack.
Unbound 1.20.0 includes fixes so the impact of the DoS from Unbound
is significantly lower than it used to be and making the attack, and
Unbound's participation, less tempting for attackers.
== Affected products
Unbound up to and including 1.19.3.
== Description
The DNSBomb attack works by sending low-rate spoofed queries for a
malicious zone to Unbound. By controlling the delay of the malicious
authoritative answers, Unbound slowly accumulates pending answers for
the spoofed addresses. When the authoritative answers become available
to Unbound at the same time, Unbound starts serving all the accumulated
queries. This results into large-sized, concentrated response bursts to
the spoofed addresses.
From version 1.20.0 on, Unbound introduces a couple of configuration
options to help mitigate the impact.
Their complete description can be found in the included manpages but
they are also briefly listed here together with their default values for
convenience:
discard-timeout: 1900
After 1900 ms a reply to the client will be dropped.
Unbound would still work on the query but refrain from replying in
order to not accumulate a huge number of "old" replies.
Legitimate clients retry on timeouts.
wait-limit: 1000
wait-limit-cookie: 10000
Limits the amount of client queries that require recursion
(cache-hits are not counted) per IP address. More recursive queries
than the allowed limit are dropped. Clients with a valid EDNS Cookie
can have a different limit, higher by default.
wait-limit: 0 disables all wait limits.
wait-limit-netblock
wait-limit-cookie-netblock
These do not have a default value but they can fine grain
configuration for specific netblocks. With or without EDNS Cookies.
The options above are trying to shrink the DNSBomb window so that the
impact of the DoS from Unbound is significantly lower than it used to be
and making the attack, and Unbound's participation, less tempting for
attackers.
== Acknowledgements
We would like to thank Xiang Li from the Network and Information
Security Lab of Tsinghua University for discovering and disclosing the
attack.
Features
The config for discard-timeout, wait-limit, wait-limit-cookie,
wait-limit-netblock and wait-limit-cookie-netblock was added, for
the fix to the DNSBomb issue.

Unbound 1.19.3
Mar 14, 2024
This release has a number of bug fixes. The CNAME synthesized for a
DNAME record uses the original TTL, of the DNAME record, and that means
it can be cached for the TTL, instead of 0.
There is a fix that when a message was stored in cache, but one of the
RRsets was not updated due to cache policy, it now restricts the message
TTL if the cache version of the RRset has a shorter TTL. It avoids a
bug where the message is not expired, but its contents is expired.
For dnstap, it logs type DoH and DoT correctly, if that is used for
the message.
The b.root-servers.net address is updated in the default root hints.
When performing retries for failed sends, a retry at a smaller UDP size
is now not performed when that attempt is not actually smaller, and at
defaults, since the flag day changes, it is the same size. This makes
it skip the step, it is useless because there is no reduction in size.
Clients with a valid DNS Cookie will bypass the ratelimit, if one is
set. The value from ip-ratelimit-cookie is used for these queries.
Furthermore there is a fix to make correct EDE Prohibited answers for
access control denials, and a fix for EDNS client subnet scope zero
answers.
Features:
Merge PR #973: Use the origin (DNAME) TTL for synthesized CNAMEs as
per RFC 6672.

Unbound 1.19.2
Mar 7, 2024
This security release fixes CVE-2024-1931.
NLnet Labs Unbound version 1.18.0 up to and including version 1.19.1
contain a vulnerability that can cause denial of service by a certain
code path that can lead to an infinite loop.
Unbound 1.18.0 introduced a feature that removes EDE records from
responses with size higher than the client's advertised buffer size.
Before removing all the EDE records however, it would try to see if
trimming the extra text fields on those records would result in an
acceptable size while still retaining the EDE codes.
Due to an unchecked condition, the code that trims the text of the EDE
records could loop indefinitely.
This happens when Unbound would reply with attached EDE information on a
positive reply and the client's buffer size is smaller than the needed
space to include EDE records.
The vulnerability can only be triggered when the 'ede: yes' option is
used; non default configuration.
From version 1.19.2 on, the code is fixed to avoid looping indefinitely.
We would like to thank Fredrik Pettai and Patrik Lundin from SUNET for
notifying us about the issue and working with us to identify the
vulnerability.
Bug Fixes:
Fix CVE-2024-1931, Denial of service when trimming EDE text on
positive replies.

Features
Added generic EDNS code for registering known EDNS option codes, bypassing the cache response stage and uniquifying mesh states. Four EDNS option lists were added to module_qstate (module_qstate.edns_opts_*) to store EDNS options from/to front/back side.
Added two flags to module_qstate (no_cache_lookup, no_cache_store) that control the modules' cache interactions.
Added code for registering inplace callback functions. The registered functions can be called just before replying with local data or Chaos, replying from cache, replying with SERVFAIL, replying with a resolved query, sending a query to a nameserver. The functions can inspect the available data and maybe change response/query related data (i.e. append EDNS options).
Updated Python module for the above.
Updated Python documentation.
Added views functionality.
Added qname-minimisation-strict config option.
Patch that resolves CNAMEs entered in local-data conf statements that point to data on the internet, from Jinmei Tatuya (Infoblox).
serve-expired config option: serve expired responses with TTL 0.
.gitattributes line for githubs code language display.
log-identity: config option to set sys log identity, patch from "Robin H. Johnson" (robbat2@gentoo.org).
Added stub-ssl-upstream and forward-ssl-upstream options.
Added local-zones and local-data bulk addition and removal functionality in unbound-control (local_zones, local_zones_remove, local_datas and local_datas_remove).
Bug Fixes
Fix #836: unbound could echo back EDNS options in an error response.
Fix #838: 1.5.10 cannot be built on Solaris, undefined PATH_MAX.
Fix #839: Memory grows unexpectedly with large RPZ files.

Patch for server.num.zero_ttl stats for count of expired replies, from Pavel Odintsov.
Fix failure to build on arm64 with no sbrk.
Set OpenSSL security level to 0 when using aNULL ciphers.
configure detects ssl security level API function in the autoconf manner. Every function on its own, so that other libraries (eg. LibreSSL) can develop their API without hindrance.
Fix #1154: segfault when reading config with duplicate zones.
Note that for harden-below-nxdomain the nxdomain must be secure, this means nsec3 with optout is insufficient.
Fix #1155: test status code of unbound-control in 04-checkconf, not the status code from the tee command.
Fix #1158: reference RFC 8020 "NXDOMAIN: There Really Is Nothing Underneath" for the harden-below-nxdomain option.
patch from Dag-Erling Smorgrav that removes code that relies on sbrk().
Make access-control-tag-data RDATA absolute. This makes the RDATA origin consistent between local-data and access-control-tag-data.
Fix NSEC ENT wildcard check. Matching wildcard does not have to be a subdomain of the NSEC owner.
QNAME minimisation uses QTYPE=A, therefore always check cache for this type in harden-below-nxdomain functionality.
Added unit test for QNAME minimisation + harden below nxdomain synergy.
Fix that with openssl 1.1 control-use-cert: no uses less cpu, by using no encryption over the unix socket.
