Title:
Ubuntu 23.10 cloud images unexpected UDP listening port 5353
Status in cloud-images:

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
In the latest Ubuntu 23.10 cloud images we are seeing unexpected UDP
listening port 5353.
By default and by policy, aside from port 22 there should be no other
open ports on Ubuntu cloud images. Listening port 5353 is a
regression.
Ubuntu 23.10 debug
```
$ ss --listening --no-header --tcp --udp --numeric

This shows port 5353 open.
To find out what is listening on this port:
```

Shows that it is systemd-resolved that is listening and from
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-
resolved.service.html
> The systemd-resolved service listens on the following IP ports:
> Port 5353 on all local addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6 (0.0.0.0 and
::0), for MulticastDNS on UDP. Note that even though the socket is
bound to all local interfaces via the selected "wildcard" IP
addresses, the incoming datagrams are filtered by the network
interface they are coming in on, and separate MulticastDNS link-local
scopes are maintained for each, taking into consideration whether
MulticastDNS is enabled for the interface or not.
So listening on port 5353 is expected for systemd-resolved and
MulticastDNS but we do not expect this to be enabled by default on
cloud images.
