Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2011-044 - This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.2.15), fixing several security issues. Wireshark 1.5.0, 1.4.3, and earlier frees an uninitialized pointer during processing of a .pcap file in the pcap-ng format, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed file. Heap-based buffer overflow in wiretap/dct3trace.c in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long record in a Nokia DCT3 trace file. wiretap/pcapng.c in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a pcap-ng file that contains a large packet-length field. Various other issues have been addressed as well.
