    Hi,

    The following vulnerability was published for unbound.

    CVE-2025-5994[0]:
    | A multi-vendor cache poisoning vulnerability named 'Rebirthday
    | Attack' has been discovered in caching resolvers that support EDNS
    | Client Subnet (ECS). Unbound is also vulnerable when compiled with
    | ECS support, i.e., '--enable-subnet', AND configured to send ECS
    | information along with queries to upstream name servers, i.e., at
    | least one of the 'send-client-subnet', 'client-subnet-zone' or
    | 'client-subnet-always-forward' options is used. Resolvers supporting
    | ECS need to segregate outgoing queries to accommodate for different
    | outgoing ECS information. This re-opens up resolvers to a birthday
    | paradox attack (Rebirthday Attack) that tries to match the DNS
    | transaction ID in order to cache non-ECS poisonous replies.


    If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
    CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
