+ <title>Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark, allowing for
+ the remote execution of arbitrary code and a Denial of Service.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer with a graphical front-end.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Wireshark doesn't properly handle chunked encoding in HTTP responses
+ (CVE-2007-3389), iSeries capture files (CVE-2007-3390), certain types
+ of DCP ETSI packets (CVE-2007-3391), and SSL or MMS packets
+ (CVE-2007-3392). An off-by-one error has been discovered in the
+ DHCP/BOOTP dissector when handling DHCP-over-DOCSIS packets
+ (CVE-2007-3393).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network
+ being monitored with Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Wireshark which
+ might be the root user, or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ In order to prevent root compromise, take network captures with tcpdump
+ and analyze them running Wireshark as a least privileged user.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.6"</code>
