Avahi is vulnerable to Denial Of Service (DoS). Due to 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.
