Upgrade Debian:unstable avahi to version 0.6.15-1 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.
Avahi before 0.6.15 does not verify the sender identity of netlink messages to ensure that they come from the kernel instead of another process, which allows local users to spoof network changes to Avahi.
