Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic. Wireshark was
previously known as Ethereal.

An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the Wireshark SMB and SMB2
dissectors. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a
malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as
the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2009-4377)

Several buffer overflow flaws were found in the Wireshark LWRES dissector.
If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious
dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user
running Wireshark. (CVE-2010-0304)

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could
crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or
opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2009-2560, CVE-2009-2562, CVE-2009-2563,
CVE-2009-3550, CVE-2009-3829)

Users of Wireshark should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
Wireshark version 1.0.11, and resolve these issues. All running instances
