The remote host is missing an update for the 'avahi' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for Zero Configuration Networking. It facilitates service discovery on a local network. A flaw was found in the way the Avahi daemon (avahi-daemon) processed Multicast DNS (mDNS) packets with an empty payload, allowing an attacker on the local network to cause avahi-daemon on a target system to enter an infinite loop via an empty mDNS UDP packet
