unbound: bad cryptographic implementation

Package(s):unbound CVE #(s):CVE-2009-3602
Created:December 28, 2009 Updated:February 23, 2010
Description:

From the Debian advisory:

It was discovered that Unbound, a DNS resolver, does not properly check cryptographic signatures on NSEC3 records. As a result, zones signed with the NSEC3 variant of DNSSEC lose their cryptographic protection. (An attacker would still have to carry out an ordinary cache poisoning attack to add bad data to the cache.)

Alerts:
Debian DSA-1963-1 2009-12-23
SuSE SUSE-SR:2010:005 2010-02-23
