| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Avahi, a system that enables devices to discover services on a local network using the mDNS/DNS-SD (Multicast Domain Name System/DNS-based Service Discovery) protocols. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending two specific network messages, known as unsolicited announcements with CNAME resource records, within a two-second timeframe. This action can cause the `avahi-daemon` process to crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
