Wireshark Multiple Vulnerabilities - July08 (Linux) The host is running Wireshark/Ethereal, which is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. The flaws exist due to errors in GSM SMS dissector, PANA and KISMET dissectors, RTMPT dissector, RMI dissector, and in syslog dissector. Affected versions are prior to 1.0.1 on Linux (All). Quick Fix : Disable the following dissectors, GSM SMS, PANA, KISMET, RTMPT, and RMI. Successful exploitation could result in application crash, disclose of system memory, and an incomplete syslog encapsulated packets
