NVD Description

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

iterator.c in NLnet Labs Unbound before 1.5.1 does not limit delegation chaining, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a large or infinite number of referrals.
