Successful exploitation requires that Wireshark has been compiled with ESP decryption support. 3) Errors in the DHCP dissector and potentially other protocol dissectors can be exploited to crash Wireshark due to a bug in Glib. This only affects the Windows version. 4) An error within the Q.2391 dissector can be exploited to cause a DoS due to memory consumption. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may cause Wireshark to stop responding, consume large amounts of system memory, crash, or execute arbitrary code. SOLUTION: Update to version 0.99.3. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by the vendor.
