Package        : unbound
CVE ID         : CVE-2023-50387 CVE-2023-50868
Debian Bug     : 1063845

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in unbound, a validating, recursive,
caching DNS resolver. Specially crafted DNSSEC answers could lead
unbound down a very CPU intensive and time costly DNSSEC
(CVE-2023-50387) or NSEC3 hash (CVE-2023-50868) validation path,
resulting in denial of service.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed
in version 1.13.1-1+deb11u2.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.17.1-2+deb12u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your unbound packages.
