Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to avahi
announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:003.

allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)
via a crafted compressed DNS response with a label that points to
itself.

Updated packages are patched to address this issue.

Affected: 2007.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
