Format string vulnerability in Wireshark 0.99.8 through 1.0.5 on non-Windows platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via format string specifiers in the HOME environment variable.
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
