What is CVE-2007-0613?

The Bonjour feature in the mDNSResponder component of Apple's Mac OS X 10.4.8, including iChat 3.1.6 and InstantMessage framework, fails to validate new contact entries. This oversight permits remote attackers to exploit the system by sending an overwhelming number of duplicate mDNS queries, which can lead to communication failures. Users may experience significant disruptions as the system struggles to process these repeated requests, indicating a severe flaw in the management of contact entries.
