  - 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)
