The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0035 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2021-3468:
    A flaw was found in avahi in versions 0.6 up to 0.8. The event used to signal the termination of the     client connection on the avahi Unix socket is not correctly handled in the client_work function, allowing     a local attacker to trigger an infinite loop. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to the     availability of the avahi service, which becomes unresponsive after this flaw is triggered.

    CVE-2023-1981:
    A vulnerability was found in the avahi library. This flaw allows an unprivileged user to make a dbus call,     causing the avahi daemon to crash.

    CVE-2023-38469:
    A vulnerability was found in Avahi, where a reachable assertion exists in avahi_dns_packet_append_record.

    CVE-2023-38470:
    A vulnerability was found in Avahi. A reachable assertion exists in the avahi_escape_label() function.

    CVE-2023-38471:
    A vulnerability was found in Avahi. A reachable assertion exists in the dbus_set_host_name function.

    CVE-2023-38472:
    A vulnerability was found in Avahi. A reachable assertion exists in the avahi_rdata_parse() function.

    CVE-2023-38473:
    A vulnerability was found in Avahi. A reachable assertion exists in the avahi_alternative_host_name()     function.
