MSRC_CVE-2017-6519

Vulnerability from csaf_microsoft - Published: 2017-05-02 00:00 - Updated: 2021-12-16 00:00
Summary
avahi-daemon in Avahi through 0.6.32 and 0.7 inadvertently responds to IPv6 unicast queries with source addresses that are not on-link which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) and may cause information leakage by obtaining potentially sensitive information from the responding device via port-5353 UDP packets. NOTE: this may overlap CVE-2015-2809.
