Wireshark is a versatile network protocol analyzer.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark, entice a user to open a malformed packet trace file using Wireshark, or deploy a specially crafted Lua script for use by Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code, or a Denial of Service condition.
There is no known workaround at this time.
