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.

The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1502 advisory.

  - The Multicast DNS (mDNS) responder in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) before 3.1 inadvertently responds     to unicast queries with source addresses that are not link-local, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (traffic amplification) or obtain potentially sensitive information via port-5353 UDP     packets to the Avahi component. (CVE-2015-2809)

  - 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.

    Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for Zero     Configuration Networking. It facilitates service discovery on a local network. Avahi and Avahi-aware     applications allow you to plug your computer into a network and, with no configuration, view other people     to chat with, view printers to print with, and find shared files on other computers.

    Security Fix(es):

    * avahi: Multicast DNS responds to unicast queries outside of local network (CVE-2017-6519)
