    Multiple buffer overflows and infinite loops were discovered in
    multiple dissector and parser components, including those for MP3 and
    NCP (CVE-2007-6111), PPP (CVE-2007-6112), DNP (CVE-2007-6113), SSL and
    iSeries (OS/400) Communication traces (CVE-2007-6114), ANSI MAP
    (CVE-2007-6115), Firebird/Interbase (CVE-2007-6116), HTTP
    (CVE-2007-6117), MEGACO (CVE-2007-6118), DCP ETSI (CVE-2007-6119),
    Bluetooth SDP (CVE-2007-6120), RPC Portmap (CVE-2007-6121), SMB

  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network
    being monitored with Wireshark or entice a user to open a specially
    crafted file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
    with the privileges of the user running Wireshark (which might be the
    root user), or a Denial of Service.
    </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 "&gt;=net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.7"</code>
  </resolution>
