  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities related to memory management were discovered
    in the GSM SMS dissector (CVE-2008-3137), the PANA and KISMET
    dissectors (CVE-2008-3138), the RTMPT dissector (CVE-2008-3139), the
    syslog dissector (CVE-2008-3140) and the RMI dissector (CVE-2008-3141)
    and when reassembling fragmented packets (CVE-2008-3145).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a
    specially crafted packet on a network being monitored by Wireshark or
    enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file, causing 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 &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/wireshark-1.0.2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
