The installed version of Wireshark or Ethereal is potentially vulnerable to attack by handling data associated with the LWRES dissector.
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.
