CVE-2024-1488 Information

Description

A vulnerability was found in Unbound due to incorrect default permissions allowing any process outside the unbound group to modify the unbound runtime configuration. If a process can connect over localhost to port 8953 it can alter the configuration of unbound.service. This flaw allows an unprivileged attacker to manipulate a running instance potentially altering forwarders allowing them to track all queries forwarded by the local resolver and in some cases disrupting resolving altogether.
