X-Spam-Level:
Package: zeroconf
Version: 0.3-1
Severity: critical
It appears that zeroconf can get itself into a state where it
continually loops, issuing ARP requests for IP addresses which other
computers already have assigned. Looking at the code there appears to
be no attempt to restrict the number of addresses tried and unless I
misread the code the default interval between probes is rather low.
Ideally zeroconf should either give up or back up if it encounters a
large number of conflicts in order to avoid DoSing the network. The RFC
recommends a limit, IIRC.
Filed with raised severity since this can cause serious disruption to
the network when it happens.
