"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2009-26:01 advisory.

    Wireshark is a network traffic analyzer for Unix-ish operating systems. This package lays base for
    libpcap, a packet capture and filtering library, contains command-line utilities, contains plugins and
    documentation for wireshark. A graphical user interface is packaged separately to GTK+ package.
    Fixed bugs:
    CVE-2008-4680
    packet-usb.c in the USB dissector in Wireshark 0.99.7 through 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (application crash or abort) via a malformed USB Request Block (URB).
    CVE-2008-4681
    Unspecified vulnerability in the Bluetooth RFCOMM dissector in Wireshark 0.99.7 through 1.0.3 allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash or abort) via unknown packets.
    CVE-2008-4682
    wtap.c in Wireshark 0.99.7 through 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application
    abort) via a malformed Tamos CommView capture file (aka .ncf file) with an unknown/unexpected packet type
    that triggers a failed assertion.
    CVE-2008-4683
    The dissect_btacl function in packet-bthci_acl.c in the Bluetooth ACL dissector in Wireshark 0.99.2
    through 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash or abort) via a
    packet with an invalid length, related to an erroneous tvb_memcpy call.
    CVE-2008-4684
    packet-frame in Wireshark 0.99.2 through 1.0.3 does not properly handle exceptions thrown by post
    dissectors, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a certain
    series of packets, as demonstrated by enabling the (1) PRP or (2) MATE post dissector.
    CVE-2008-4685
    Use-after-free vulnerability in the dissect_q931_cause_ie function in packet-q931.c in the Q.931 dissector
    in Wireshark 0.10.3 through 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash
    or abort) via certain packets that trigger an exception.
    CVE-2008-5285
    Wireshark 1.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long SMTP request,
    which triggers an infinite loop.
    CVE-2009-0599
    Buffer overflow in wiretap/netscreen.c in Wireshark 0.99.7 through 1.0.5 allows user-assisted remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed NetScreen snoop file.
    CVE-2009-0600
    Wireshark 0.99.6 through 1.0.5 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (application crash) via a crafted Tektronix K12 text capture file, as demonstrated by a file with exactly
    one frame.
