Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2011:0370 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: wireshark security update 2011-03-21 19:39:13 UTC

Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2011-01-21 09:25:52 UTC 
Marc Schoenefeld found a heap-based buffer overflow in Wireshark, when reading certain capture files.

A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause wireshark executable
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user running wireshark, if the local user opened a
specially-crafted capture file.

This only affects wireshark < 1.2
