Detail

Huzaifa Sidhpurwala, David Maciejak and others discovered several vulnerabilities in the X.509if and DICOM dissectors and in the code to process various capture and dictionary files, which could lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.2-3+lenny14.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.11-6+squeeze2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.17-1

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
