<p>
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>
</description>
<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 "&gt;=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 "&gt;=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>
