execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2012-0068)

This update also addresses several bugs, which can lead to crashes of 
Wireshark. These are not treated as security issues, but are fixed 
nonetheless if security updates are scheduled: CVE-2011-3483, 
CVE-2012-0041, CVE-2012-0042, CVE-2012-0066 and CVE-2012-0067.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
