    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark:
    </p>
    <ul><li>Ryan Giobbi reported an integer overflow in wiretap/erf.c
    (CVE-2009-3829).</li>
    <li>The vendor reported multiple unspecified
    vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth L2CAP, RADIUS, and MIOP dissectors
    (CVE-2009-2560), in the OpcUa dissector (CVE-2009-3241), in packet.c in
    the GSM A RR dissector (CVE-2009-3242), in the TLS dissector
    (CVE-2009-3243), in the Paltalk dissector (CVE-2009-3549), in the
    DCERPC/NT dissector (CVE-2009-3550), and in the
    dissect_negprot_response() function in packet-smb.c in the SMB
    dissector (CVE-2009-3551).</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted "erf"
    file using Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running the application. A remote
    attacker could furthermore send specially crafted packets on a network
    being monitored by Wireshark or entice a user to open a malformed
    packet trace file using Wireshark, possibly resulting in 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-1.2.3"</code>
  </resolution>
