| 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> |
| <li>An unspecified vulnerability in the AFS |
| dissector (CVE-2009-2562).</li> |
| <li>An unspecified vulnerability in the |
| Infiniband dissector when running on unspecified platforms |
| (CVE-2009-2563).</li> |
| </ul> |
| </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 ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-1.2.1"</code> |
