+ <title>Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Wireshark (formerly known as Ethereal) is vulnerable to several security
+ issues, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code by a remote
+ attacker.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Wireshark, formerly known as Ethereal, is a popular network protocol
+ analyzer.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Wireshark dissectors have been found vulnerable to a large number of
+ exploits, including off-by-one errors, buffer overflows, format string
+ overflows and an infinite loop.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ Running an affected version of Wireshark or Ethereal could allow for a
+ remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's computer by
+ sending specially crafted packets.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.2&quot;</code>
+ <p>
+ All Ethereal users should migrate to Wireshark:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --unmerge net-analyzer/ethereal
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.2&quot;</code>
+ <p>
+ To keep the [saved] configuration from Ethereal and reuse it with
+ Wireshark:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # mv ~/.ethereal ~/.wireshark</code>
