Check for the version of the avahi package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2007:003 (avahi). The consume_labels function in avahi-core/dns.c in Avahi before 0.6.16 permits remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted compressed DNS response with a label that points to itself. Updated packages are patched to address this issue.
