Package name wireshark
Date December 15th, 2008
Advisory ID MDVSA-2008:242
Affected versions CS4.0, 2008.1, 2009.0

Problem Description

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Wireshark. The first is a
vulnerability in the SMTP dissector that could cause it to consume
excessive CPU and memory via a long SMTP request (CVE-2008-5285).

The second is an issue with the WLCCP dissector that could cause it
to go into an infinite loop.

This update also provides a patch to fix a potential freeze during
capture interface selection.

This update provides Wireshark 1.0.5, which is not vulnerable to
these issues.
