== Summary
Recent versions of Unbound contain a problem that may cause Unbound to
crash after receiving a specially crafted query. This issue can only be
triggered by queries received from addresses allowed by Unbound's ACL.== Affected products
Unbound 1.7.1 up to and including 1.9.3.== Description
Due to an error in parsing NOTIFY queries, it is possible for Unbound to
continue processing malformed queries and may ultimately result in a
pointer dereference in uninitialized memory. This results in a crash of
the Unbound daemon.Whether this issue leads to a crash depends on the content of the
uninitialized memory space and cannot be predicted. This issue can only
be triggered by queries received from addresses that are allowed to send
queries according to Unbound's ACL (access-control in the Unbound
configuration).== Solution
