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 malformed dump file. (CVE-2008-1070,
CVE-2008-1071, CVE-2008-1072, CVE-2008-1561, CVE-2008-1562,

CVE-2008-3145, CVE-2008-3932, CVE-2008-3933, CVE-2008-3934)

Additionally, this update changes the default Pluggable Authentication
Modules (PAM) configuration to always prompt for the root password
before each start of Wireshark. This avoids unintentionally running
Wireshark with root privileges."
