Synopsis:	Moderate: wireshark security update
Issue date:	2010-04-20
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-2560 CVE-2009-2562 CVE-2009-2563
 CVE-2009-3550 CVE-2009-3829 CVE-2009-4377
 CVE-2010-0304

An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in the Wireshark SMB and
SMB2 dissectors. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or
opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute
arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2009-4377)

Several buffer overflow flaws were found in the Wireshark LWRES
dissector. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened
a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary
code as the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2010-0304)

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could
crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or
opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2009-2560, CVE-2009-2562,
CVE-2009-2563, CVE-2009-3550, CVE-2009-3829)

All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to
take effect.

Note: libsmi was added to SL4 and SL5 because it was a new dependency
for wireshark and older versions of SL4 and SL5 did not have libsmi.
