Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0125-01 - Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal, is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Wireshark handled Endace ERF capture files. If Wireshark opened a specially-crafted ERF capture file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. 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.
