Debian Linux - avahi - A flaw was found in the Avahi-daemon, where it initializes DNS transaction IDs randomly only once at startup, incrementing them sequentially after that. This predictable behavior facilitates DNS spoofing attacks, allowing attackers to guess transaction IDs.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux - avahi: Avahi Wide-Area DNS Predictable Transaction IDs

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - avahi: Avahi Wide-Area DNS Uses Constant Source Port (CVE-2024-52615)  avahi: Avahi Wide-Area DNS     Predictable Transaction IDs (CVE-2024-52616) (CVE-2024-52616)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of avahi installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-52616 advisory.

  - avahi: Avahi Wide-Area DNS Uses Constant Source Port (CVE-2024-52615)  avahi: Avahi Wide-Area DNS     Predictable Transaction IDs (CVE-2024-52616) (CVE-2024-52616)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of avahi installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-52616 advisory.

  - avahi: Avahi Wide-Area DNS Uses Constant Source Port (CVE-2024-52615)  avahi: Avahi Wide-Area DNS     Predictable Transaction IDs (CVE-2024-52616) (CVE-2024-52616)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of avahi installed on the remote host is prior to 0.6.31-20. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2704 advisory.
