CentOS Update for avahi CESA-2010:0528 centos5 i386. Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for Zero Configuration Networking. A flaw was found in the way the Avahi daemon (avahi-daemon) processed Multicast DNS (mDNS) packets with corrupted checksums, and in the way avahi-daemon processed incoming unicast mDNS messages. All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages

tag_insight = "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. Avahi and Avahi-aware applications allow you
  to plug your computer into a network and, with no configuration, view other
  people to chat with, view printers to print to, and find shared files on
  other computers.

  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)
  
  All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the update,
  avahi-daemon will be restarted automatically.";
