Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Wireshark
network traffic analyzer, which may lead to denial of service. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
The oldstable distribution (sarge) is not affected by these problems.
(In Sarge Wireshark used to be called Ethereal).
For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed
in version 0.99.4-5.etch.0. Packages for the big endian MIPS architecture
are not yet available. They will be provided later.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.99.6pre1-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your Wireshark packages.
