Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2010:0625 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: wireshark security update 2010-08-11 20:59:31 UTC

Description Tomas Hoger 2010-05-10 10:24:32 UTC
Upstream wireshark versions 1.0.13 and 1.2.8 fix a flaw in the DOCSIS dissector.  This dissector used incorrect format string specified when printing certain values (%s was used to print numeric values, causing numeric value to be used as pointer), which could cause wireshark to crash or create garbaged output.

Upstream advisories:
1.0.13 http://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2010-03.html
1.2.8 http://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2010-04.html
