Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2011-083 - This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.2.16), fixing several security issues. The X.509if dissector in Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.16 and 1.4.x before 1.4.5 does not properly initialize certain global variables, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted.pcap file. Stack-based buffer overflow in the DECT dissector in epan/dissectors/packet-dect.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted.pcap file. The NFS dissector in epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.5 on Windows uses an incorrect integer data type during decoding of SETCLIENTID calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted.pcap file. The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest 1.2.x version which is not vulnerable to these issues.
