Vulnerabilities > CVE-2006-5461 - Unspecified vulnerability in Avahi
Attack vector
LOCAL Attack complexity
LOW Privileges required
NONE Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
PARTIAL Availability impact
NONE Summary
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.
