Upgrade Debian:12 avahi to version 0.6.23-3 or higher.

See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
The originates_from_local_legacy_unicast_socket function (avahi-core/server.c) in avahi-daemon in Avahi before 0.6.24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted mDNS packet with a source port of 0, which triggers an assertion failure.
