    Package : wireshark
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-1268 CVE-2008-1829 CVE-2009-2560 CVE-2009-2562 CVE-2009-3241 CVE-2009-3550 CVE-2009-3829

    Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Wireshark
    network traffic analyzer, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary
    code or denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
    project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2009-2560

    A NULL pointer dereference was found in the RADIUS dissector.

    CVE-2009-3550

    A NULL pointer dereference was found in the DCERP/NT dissector.

    CVE-2009-3829

    An integer overflow was discovered in the ERF parser.

    This update also includes fixes for three minor issues, which were
    scheduled for the next stable point update. (CVE-2008-1829,
    CVE-2009-2562, CVE-2009-3241). Also CVE-2009-1268 was fixed for Etch.
    Since this security update was issued prior to the release of the
    point update, the fixes were included.

    For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.99.4-5.etch.4.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.0.2-3+lenny7.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.2.3-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your Wireshark packages.
