Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- A flaw was found in Avahi-daemon, which relies on fixed source ports for wide-area DNS queries. This issue
simplifies attacks where malicious DNS responses are injected. (CVE-2024-52615)

- A flaw was found in the Avahi-daemon, where it initializes DNS transaction IDs randomly only once at
