Wireshark, formerly known as Ethereal, is a popular network protocol
|
|
analyzer.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Wireshark dissectors have been found vulnerable to a large number of
|
|
exploits, including off-by-one errors, buffer overflows, format string
|
|
overflows and an infinite loop.
|
|
</p>

|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Running an affected version of Wireshark or Ethereal could allow for a
|
|
remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's computer by
|
|
sending specially crafted packets.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.2"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Ethereal users should migrate to Wireshark:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --unmerge net-analyzer/ethereal
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.2"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To keep the [saved] configuration from Ethereal and reuse it with
|
|
Wireshark:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# mv ~/.ethereal ~/.wireshark</code>
|
|
</resolution>
