What is CVE-2006-2288?
Avahi, a system for Multicast DNS Service Discovery, is vulnerable to a Denial of Service condition that allows local users to disrupt service. This occurs due to unspecified conflicts in mDNS names, potentially leading to service disconnections. Users operating on affected versions may trigger these conflicts, resulting in interrupted access to network services reliant on mDNS and DNS-SD protocols. It is crucial for users to update to version 0.6.10 or later to protect against this vulnerability.
