This will copy an address's "byte format" into a buffer. The original
intended design is for export_pdu functionality, which tries to do
this "manually" for many address types (and creates undesired dependencies)
The default functionality if a "byte format function" isn't provided
(currently the case for all address types) is a memcpy of the address
data. Providing "address to byte" functions to aid export PDU
functionality will be provided later.

Handling security fixes in source package wireshark
Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer and it's ability to perform deep
packet inspection in live traffic may encourage users to use Wireshark/Tshark
as a part of an intrusion detection or traffic monitoring system.
In that case, please note that Wireshark/Tshark may contain remotely
triggerable bugs causing crashes or allowing code injection.
Bugs allowing code injection will be fixed in regular Debian Security
Advisories, but fixes for pure crash bugs may be delayed.
