3. Description:
Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic. Wireshark was
previously known as Ethereal.
An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the Wireshark SMB and SMB2
dissectors. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a
malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as
the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2009-4377)
Several buffer overflow flaws were found in the Wireshark LWRES dissector.
If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious
dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user
running Wireshark. (CVE-2010-0304)
Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could
crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or
opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2009-2560, CVE-2009-2562, CVE-2009-2563,
CVE-2009-3550, CVE-2009-3829)
Users of Wireshark should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
Wireshark version 1.0.11, and resolve these issues. All running instances
of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.
