Description
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the ub_ctx_set_fwd function in Unbound. This issue could allow an attacker who can invoke specific sequences of API calls to cause a segmentation fault.

This issue can result in a denial of service by causing the application to terminate unexpectedly.
