    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Wireshark:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>A
    buffer overflow in the IPMI dissector related to an array index error
    (CVE-2009-2559).</li>
    <li>Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the
    Bluetooth L2CAP, RADIUS, and MIOP dissectors (CVE-2009-2560).</li>
    <li>An unspecified vulnerability in the sFlow dissector
    (CVE-2009-2561).</li>

  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending
    specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark or
    by enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file to cause 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-1.2.1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
