      <title>CVE-2025-5994 — Cache poisoning via the ECS-enabled Rebirthday Attack</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-5994</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; NLnet Labs Unbound&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A multi-vendor cache poisoning vulnerability named &amp;#39;Rebirthday Attack&amp;#39; has been discovered in caching resolvers that support EDNS Client Subnet (ECS). Unbound is also vulnerable when compiled with ECS support, i.e., &amp;#39;--enable-subnet&amp;#39;, AND configured to send ECS information along with queries to upstream name servers, i.e., at least one of the &amp;#39;send-client-subnet&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;client-subnet-zone&amp;#39; or &amp;#39;client-subnet-always-forward&amp;#39; 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.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
