ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1785765391 advisory.
- Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network via the mDNS/DNS-SD protocol
suite. In 0.9-rc2 and earlier, an unprivileged local users can crash avahi-daemon (with wide-area
disabled) by creating record browsers with the AVAHI_LOOKUP_USE_WIDE_AREA flag set via D-Bus. This can be
done by either calling the RecordBrowserNew method directly or creating hostname/address/service
resolvers/browsers that create those browsers internally themselves. (CVE-2025-68276)
- Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network via the mDNS/DNS-SD protocol
suite. Prior to version 0.9-rc4, any unprivileged local user can crash avahi-daemon by sending a single
D-Bus method call with conflicting publish flags. This issue has been patched in version 0.9-rc4.
(CVE-2026-34933)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
