Package        : avahi
Version        : 0.7-4+deb10u3
CVE ID         : CVE-2021-3468
Debian Bug     : 984938

Avahi a free zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) implementation,
including a system for multicast DNS/DNS-SD service discovery, was
affected by a Deny of Service. The event used to signal the termination of
the client connection on the avahi Unix socket is not correctly handled
in the client_work function, allowing a local attacker to trigger
an infinite loop.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
0.7-4+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your avahi packages.
