The installed version of Wireshark or Ethereal is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
The Daintree SNA file parser can overflow a buffer.
(Bug 4294)
The SMB and SMB2 dissectors can crash. (Bug 4301)
The IPMI dissector can crash on Windows. (Bug 4319)
These vulnerabilities can result in a denial of service, or possibly arbitrary code execution. A remote attacker can 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 can be exploited remotely (from the same network segment).
