CVE-2026-24401
Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network via the mDNS/DNS-SD protocol suite. In versions 0.9rc2 and below, avahi-daemon can be crashed via a segmentation fault by sending an unsolicited mDNS response containing a recursive CNAME record, where the alias and canonical name point to the same domain (e.g., "h.local" as a CNAME for "h.local"). This causes unbounded recursion in the lookup_handle_cname function, leading to stack exhaustion. The vulnerability affects record browsers where AVAHI_LOOKUP_USE_MULTICAST is set explicitly, which includes record browsers created by resolvers used by nss-mdns. This issue is patched in commit 78eab31128479f06e30beb8c1cbf99dd921e2524.

En las versiones 0.9rc2 e inferiores, avahi-daemon puede ser bloqueado mediante un fallo de segmentación al enviar una respuesta mDNS no solicitada que contenga un registro CNAME recursivo, donde el alias y el nombre canónico apuntan al mismo dominio (por ejemplo, 'h.local' como CNAME para 'h.local'). Esto causa una recursión ilimitada en la función lookup_handle_cname, lo que lleva al agotamiento de la pila.
