CVE-2008-5081  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade lathiat/avahi to version 0.6.24 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. 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.
