It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-5461 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5461/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5461/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-5461","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5461/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-5461","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2006-5461","GHSA-4w5j-fgfj-644h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Avahi mDNS responder","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can spoof network changes to Avahi by bypassing sender identity verification in netlink messages.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"avahi","vendor":"avahi"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Avahi before 0.6.15 does not verify the sender identity of netlink messages to ensure that they come from the kernel instead of another process, which allows local users to spoof network changes to Avahi.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5461","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":15,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5462"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5460"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-11-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6519","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-26720","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-17"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Avahi has Uncontrolled Recursion in lookup_handle_cname function","id":"CVE-2026-24401","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-24"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Avahi has a reachable assertion in lookup_multicast_callback","id":"CVE-2025-68468","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-12"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Avahi has a reachable assertion in lookup_start","id":"CVE-2025-68471","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-12"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Reachable assertion in avahi_dns_packet_append_record","id":"CVE-2023-38469","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-02"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Reachable assertion in avahi_escape_label","id":"CVE-2023-38470","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can spoof network changes to Avahi by bypassing sender identity verification in netlink messages.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5461/"}
