  "title": "Libunbound applications configured with \u0027unwanted-reply-threshold\u0027 could eventually be abruptly terminated",
  "description": "With NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.25.1, applications using libunbound and configured with \u0027unwanted-reply-threshold\u0027, could eventually be abruptly terminated if the threshold is reached and libunbound needs to call \u0027libworker_alloc_cleanup\u0027 since the function is absent from the function call allow list. When an application using libunbound sets \u0027unwanted-reply-threshold\u0027 to any non-zero value and the iterator queries an authoritative that replies with enough wrong-transaction-ID UDP datagrams to cross the threshold, the \u0027libworker_alloc_cleanup\u0027 will eventually be called. Since the function is absent from the function call allow list, this leads to a fatal exit of libunbound and eventual termination of the embedding application.Unbound itself is not affected since its relevant function \u0027worker_alloc_cleanup\u0027 is registed in the allow list and proceeds to perform the documented cache flush.",
