MDVA-2008:089 : wireshark

high Nessus Plugin ID 37090

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The previous update of wireshark had the dumpcap program, which is required by both wireshark and tshark, in the wireshark package. If a user installed tshark, it would not properly operate unless the wireshark package was also installed. This update corrects the problem by providing a new dumpcap package that both wireshark and tshark require.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
