A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 5.10:
avahi-daemon 0.5.2-1ubuntu1.3
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
avahi-daemon 0.6.10-0ubuntu3.3

avahi-daemon 0.6.13-2ubuntu2.3
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
USN-380-1 fixed a vulnerability in Avahi. However, if used with
Network manager, that version occasionally failed to resolve .local
DNS names until Avahi got restarted. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
