The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:0013.
Hugo Dias discovered a denial of service flaw in avahi-daemon. A remote
attacker on the same local area network (LAN) could send a
specially-crafted mDNS (Multicast DNS) packet that would cause avahi-daemon
to exit unexpectedly due to a failed assertion check. (CVE-2008-5081)
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch which resolves this issue. After installing the update,
avahi-daemon will be restarted automatically.
