The installed version of Wireshark or Ethereal is affected by multiple issues :
The AFS dissector could crash. (Bug 3564)
The infiniband dissector could crash on some platforms.
(CVE-2009-2563)
The OpcUa dissector could use excessive CPU and memory.
(Bug 3986)
These vulnerabilities could result in a denial of service. A remote attacker could exploit these issues by tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted capture file. Additionally, if Wireshark is running in promiscuous mode, one of these issues could be exploited remotely (from the same network segment).
