NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream unbound package and not the unbound package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the way unbound before 1.6.8 validated wildcard-synthesized NSEC records. An improperly validated wildcard NSEC record could be used to prove the non-existence (NXDOMAIN answer) of an existing wildcard record, or trick unbound into accepting a NODATA proof.
