From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Great advice. It would appear these developers don’t take security seriously.

They're standardised zeroconnf protocols. Apple was part of the early development.
Bonjour is the apple implementation for mDNS.
Avahi is the GPL compliant implementation.
mDNS, llmnr (ms developed), have been known for ages to be vulnerable.

I could similarly link you an internet search for http or tls vulnerability, I fail to see your point
