+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending
+ specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark or
+ by enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file, causing a
+ Denial of Service.
+ </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 "&gt;=net-analyzer/wireshark-1.0.3"</code>
