CVE-2009-0758 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable avahi to version 0.6.24-3 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 originates_from_local_legacy_unicast_socket function in avahi-core/server.c in avahi-daemon 0.6.23 does not account for the network byte order of a port number when processing incoming multicast packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (network bandwidth and CPU consumption) via a crafted legacy unicast mDNS query packet that triggers a multicast packet storm.
