Two denial of service conditions were discovered in avahi, a Multicast DNS implementation.

Huge Dias discovered that the avahi daemon aborts with an assert error if it encounters a UDP packet with source port 0 (CVE-2008-5081 ).

It was discovered that the avahi daemon aborts with an assert error if it receives an empty TXT record over D-Bus (CVE-2007-3372 ).
