Possible degradation of service from continuous queries on the same TCP/DoT connection
CVE-2026-80225 is fixed in 15 products on 1 platform, first by libunbound8 1.9.4-2ubuntu1.11+esm3, released September 16, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
In NLnetLabs Unbound up to and including 1.26.0, a degradation of service vulnerability is present in the TCP/DoT reading procedure where there is no limit on consecutive reads. A malicious actor that can stream and sustain a rate of distinct uncached names over the TCP/DoT connection, monopolizes a single worker's entire event loop for as long as its writes stay ahead of the drain.
