Dear Maintainer,

I've been told by several root nameservers that version of unbound
as shipped by Debian has a serious flaw that causes unbound to double
the traffic to the root zone system endangering the whole stability
of the DNS system (the RZ operators could still cope with this, but
doubling the traffic is quite horrible).

There has been large operator that upgraded to Debian Trixie and
enabled serve-stale and this has caused several eyebrows to raise,
and people coming to me (since they know I am DD) asking if I can
help.

NLNetLabs had been notified, but since this is already fixed in
the upstream packages, this needs to be expeditely fixed in Debian
as this can cause instability in the DNS ecosystem.

Please look into this as soon as possible, or ping me if you want
me to NMU unbound via security-team.  I am notifying the security
team as well.

Thanks,
Ondrej
