    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>
    David Maciejak discovered a vulnerability in packet-usb.c in the USB
    dissector via a malformed USB Request Block (URB) (CVE-2008-4680).
    </li>
    <li>
    Florent Drouin and David Maciejak reported an unspecified vulnerability
    in the Bluetooth RFCOMM dissector (CVE-2008-4681).
    </li>
    <li>
    A malformed Tamos CommView capture file (aka .ncf file) with an
    "unknown/unexpected packet type" triggers a failed assertion in wtap.c
    (CVE-2008-4682).
    </li>
    <li>
    An unchecked packet length parameter in the dissect_btacl() function in
    packet-bthci_acl.c in the Bluetooth ACL dissector causes an erroneous
    tvb_memcpy() call (CVE-2008-4683).
    </li>
    <li>
    A vulnerability where packet-frame does not properly handle exceptions
    thrown by post dissectors caused by a certain series of packets
    (CVE-2008-4684).
    </li>
    <li>
    Mike Davies reported a use-after-free vulnerability in the
    dissect_q931_cause_ie() function in packet-q931.c in the Q.931
    dissector via certain packets that trigger an exception
    (CVE-2008-4685).
    </li>
    <li>
    The Security Vulnerability Research Team of Bkis reported that the SMTP
    dissector could consume excessive amounts of CPU and memory
    (CVE-2008-5285).
    </li>
    <li>
    The vendor reported that the WLCCP dissector could go into an infinite
    loop (CVE-2008-6472).
    </li>
    <li>
    babi discovered a buffer overflow in wiretap/netscreen.c via a
    malformed NetScreen snoop file (CVE-2009-0599).
    </li>
    <li>
    A specially crafted Tektronix K12 text capture file can cause an
    application crash (CVE-2009-0600).
    </li>
    <li>
    A format string vulnerability via format string specifiers in the HOME
    environment variable (CVE-2009-0601).
    </li>
    <li>THCX Labs reported a format string vulnerability in the
    PROFINET/DCP (PN-DCP) dissector via a PN-DCP packet with format string
    specifiers in the station name (CVE-2009-1210).
    </li>
    <li>An unspecified vulnerability with unknown impact and attack vectors
    (CVE-2009-1266).
    </li>
    <li>
    Marty Adkins and Chris Maynard discovered a parsing error in the
    dissector for the Check Point High-Availability Protocol (CPHAP)
    (CVE-2009-1268).
    </li>
    <li>
    Magnus Homann discovered a parsing error when loading a Tektronix .rf5
    file (CVE-2009-1269).
    </li>
    <li>The vendor reported that the PCNFSD dissector could crash
    (CVE-2009-1829).</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <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 which can
    trigger a Denial of Service (application crash or excessive CPU and
    memory usage) and possibly allow for the execution of arbitrary code
    with the privileges of the user running Wireshark.
    </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-1.0.8&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
