QID 671048: EulerOS Security Update for unbound (EulerOS-SA-2021-2620)

Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching dns(sec) resolver.
the c implementation of unbound is developed and maintained by nlnet labs.
It is based on ideas and algorithms taken from a java prototype developed by verisign labs, nominet, kirei and ep.net.
unbound is designed as a set of modular components, so that also dnssec (secure dns) validation and stub-resolvers (that do not run as a server, but are linked into an application) are easily possible.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An arbitrary attacker may exploit this vulnerability to compromise the system.
