Last modified
CVE-2017-6519 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 3.08% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
