announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:242.

This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.2.13),

(epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c) in the LDSS dissector in Wireshark
1.2.0 through 1.2.12 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.1 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary
