What is CVE-2007-3372?

The Avahi daemon prior to version 0.6.20 is susceptible to a denial of service attack. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending empty TXT data over D-Bus, which leads to an assert error causing the daemon to terminate unexpectedly. This flaw may disrupt services reliant on Avahi, making it critical for users to ensure their installations are updated to mitigate potential attacks.
