NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream unbound package and not the unbound package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Unbound before 1.9.4 accesses uninitialized memory, which allows remote attackers to trigger a crash via a crafted NOTIFY query. The source IP address of the query must match an access-control rule.
