An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-6870 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-2006-6870/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6870/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6870","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6870/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6870","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2006-6870","GHSA-mc78-8grw-5ghv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Avahi DNS responder","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in Avahi via a crafted compressed DNS response triggering an infinite loop.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"avahi","vendor":"avahi"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The consume_labels function in avahi-core/dns.c in Avahi before 0.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted compressed DNS response with a label that points to itself.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6870","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":16,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6871"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6869"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-01-05","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":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service in Avahi via a crafted compressed DNS response triggering an infinite loop.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6870/"}
