Avahi 0.6.24 release wrote:
* A huge number of bug fixes, including a security relavant one (CVE-2008-5081, low risk)
* Add two new configuration directives "allow-interfaces" and "deny-interfaces" which can be used to make Avahi ignore certain network interfaces or only use certain network interfaces.
* A lot of translation updates

A vulnerability has been reported in Avahi, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing multicast DNS (mDNS) data and can be exploited to terminate the application via an UDP packet having a source port equal to zero.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 0.6.24.


We currently have version 0.6.23 in SNAPSHOT

I already have a rebuild running on my 'current' system; i'll rebuild the 'snapshot' one this evening (i hope ;-) )

So: yes, i've seen it, and a rebuild/upgrade is on the way :-)

See also the test-request, but the package is here... Still being tested...
