Dear Sir/Madam, 

We are using the latest version of Wireshark. Do the recently disclosed OpenSSL security vulnerabilities affect us? If they do, what would you recommend for us until a new update is released?

In addition to the answer above, Wireshark does not link against OpenSSL so OpenSSL vulnerabilities are not relevant. GnuTLS is used to read PKCS#12 files.

Based on this assesment I don't see much of an issue here:

It is uncommon to accept untrusted PKCS#12 files in applications as they are usually used to store private keys which are trusted by definition. For these reasons, the issue was assessed as Low severity.
