A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Wireshark 
processed signaling traces generated by the Gammu utility on Nokia DCT3 
phones running in Netmonitor mode. If Wireshark opened a 
specially-crafted capture file, it could crash or, possibly, execute 
arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2011-0713)
