NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream unbound package and not the unbound package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:24.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The DNS protocol in RFC 1035 and updates allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by arranging for DNS queries to be accumulated for seconds, such that responses are later sent in a pulsing burst (which can be considered traffic amplification in some cases), aka the "DNSBomb" issue.
