avahi is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists as a flaw was found in the way the Avahi daemon (avahi-daemon) processed multicast DNS (mDNS) packets with an empty payload. An attacker on the local network could use this flaw to cause avahi-daemon on a target system to enter an infinite loop via an empty mDNS UDP packet.
