DESCRIPTION
Ethereal[1] is a powerful network traffic analyzer with a graphical
user interface (GUI).

This update fixes several vulnerabilities[2,3] in ethereal:

CAN-2005-0006[4]: The COPS dissector could go into an infinite loop.

CAN-2005-0007[5]: The DLSw dissector could cause an assertion, making
Ethereal exit prematurely.

CAN-2005-0008[6]: The DNP dissector could cause memory corruption.

CAN-2005-0009[7]: The Gnutella dissector could cause an assertion,
making Ethereal exit prematurely.

CAN-2005-0010[8]: The MMSE dissector could free static memory.

CAN-2005-0084[9]: The X11 protocol dissector is vulnerable to a
string buffer overflow.

CAN-2005-0699[10]: Diego Giago discovered a buffer overflow in the
3GPP2 A11 dissector.

CAN-2005-0704[11]: Matevz Pustisek discovered a buffer overflow in
the Etheric dissector.

CAN-2005-0705[12]: The GPRS-LLC dissector could crash if the "ignore
cipher bit" option was enabled.

CAN-2005-0739[13]: Leon Juranic discovered a buffer overflow in the
IAPP dissector.

Also, it fixes other two issues: a bug in the JXTA and sFlow
dissectors that could make Ethereal crash.

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all ethereal users upgrade their packages.
