Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Wireshark
network traffic analyzer, which may lead to denial of service or
execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been
fixed in version 0.10.10-2sarge10. (In Sarge Wireshark used to be
called Ethereal). Updated packages for sparc and m68k will be provided
later.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed
in version 0.99.4-5.etch.1. Updated packages for sparc will be provided
later.
We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark/ethereal packages.
