Verified Advisory
Memory accounting bypass in Unbound downstream DoQ implementation (CVE-2026-32665)
In NLnet Labs Unbound versions 1.22.0 through 1.25.1, when downstream DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) is enabled, the first two bidirectional streams on a new QUIC connection bypass the per-stream 'quic-size' gate, allowing a remote client to exceed the configured memory limit with low-cost input. This leads to excessive memory allocation and denial of service for new DoQ clients.
Affected versions:
- 1.22.0
- 1.25.1
We recommend updating to: 1.25.2.
