Detail

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in avahi:

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 (CVE-2010-2244).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more: http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&products_id=490

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Description: It was discovered that Avahi incorrectly handled certain mDNS query packets when the reflector feature is enabled, which is not the default configuration on Ubuntu. A remote attacker could send crafted mDNS queries and perform a denial of service on the server and on the network. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 9.04. It was discovered that Avahi incorrectly handled mDNS packets with corrupted checksums. A remote attacker could send crafted mDNS packets and cause Avahi to crash, resulting in a denial of service

Title: RHSA-2009:0013 -- avahi security update (Moderate)
Description: Updated avahi packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for Zeroconf Networking. It facilitates service discovery on a local network. Avahi and Avahi-aware applications allow you to plug your computer into a network and, with no configuration, view other people to chat with, see printers to print to, and find shared files on other computers. Hugo Dias discovered a denial of service flaw in avahi-daemon. A remote attacker on the same local area network (LAN) could send a specially-crafted mDNS (Multicast DNS) packet that would cause avahi-daemon to exit unexpectedly due to a failed assertion check. (CVE-2008-5081) All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch which resolves this issue. After installing the update, avahi-daemon will be restarted automatically.
