Upgrade Debian:unstable avahi to version 0.6.26-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream avahi package and not the avahi package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
The AvahiDnsPacket function in avahi-core/socket.c in avahi-daemon in Avahi 0.6.16 and 0.6.25 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a DNS packet with an invalid checksum followed by a DNS packet with a valid checksum, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-5081.
