CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2014:0342

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse
the traffic running on a computer network.

Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off
a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly,
execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2014-2281,
CVE-2014-2299)

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could
crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or
opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2013-6336, CVE-2013-6337, CVE-2013-6338,
CVE-2013-6339, CVE-2013-6340, CVE-2014-2283, CVE-2013-7112, CVE-2013-7114)

All Wireshark users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.
