A flaw was found in the way the Avahi daemon (avahi-daemon) processed Multicast DNS (mDNS) packets with corrupted checksums. An attacker on the local network could use this flaw to cause avahi-daemon on a target system to exit unexpectedly via specially crafted mDNS packets.
(CVE-2010-2244)

A flaw was found in the way avahi-daemon processed incoming unicast mDNS messages. If the mDNS reflector were enabled on a system, an attacker on the local network could send a specially crafted unicast mDNS message to that system, resulting in its avahi-daemon flooding the network with a multicast packet storm, and consuming a large amount of CPU. Note: The mDNS reflector is disabled by default.
(CVE-2009-0758)

After installing the update, avahi-daemon will be restarted automatically.
