RedHat Update for Wireshark RHSA-2011:0013-01. Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic. An array index error in the Wireshark ENTTEC dissector could cause a stack-based buffer overflow, leading to a crash or arbitrary code execution. Users of Wireshark should upgrade to the updated packages, containing a backported patch to correct this issue. All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect
