Debian Bug     : 614785

It was discovered that avahi, an implementation of the zeroconf protocol,
can be crashed remotely by a single UDP packet, which may result in a
denial of service.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.6.23-3lenny3.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.6.27-2+squeeze1.

We recommend that you upgrade your avahi packages.
