+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Avahi is a system that facilitates service discovery on a local

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Rob Leslie reported that the
+ originates_from_local_legacy_unicast_socket() function in
+ avahi-core/server.c does not account for the network byte order of a
+ port number when processing incoming multicast packets, leading to a
+ multicast packet storm.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send specially crafted legacy unicast mDNS
+ query packets to the Avahi daemon, resulting in a Denial of Service due
+ to network bandwidth and CPU consumption.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Avahi users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-dns/avahi-0.6.24-r2"</code>
