Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:003
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : avahi
Date : January 8, 2007
Affected: 2007.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

The consume_labels function in avahi-core/dns.c in Avahi before 0.6.16
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)
via a crafted compressed DNS response with a label that points to
itself.

Updated packages are patched to address this issue.
