Bug Fixes
Three security vulnerabilities have been fixed since the previous
release (fixed in pkgsrc via patches):
- The IRC dissector could go into an infinite loop.
- iDefense found a buffer overflow in the OSPF dissector.
and
- The GTP dissector could go into an infinite loop.
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since the last release:
- The Windows installer now ships with GTK+ 2.6 instead of GTK+ 2.4.
This should fix several long-standing bugs.
- If you're loading a saved capture file and press "Cancel", Ethereal
will now display the packets read up to that point. In previous
versions, Ethereal would abort the attempt completely and clear the
packet list. This means that if you're loding a huge capture file,
you can stop loading in the middle and still be able to analyze part
of the file.
- The maximum number of files allowed in a ring buffer has been increased
from 1024 to 10,000.
- OID to name resolution has been improved.
- TCP graphs now handle upper and lower bounds better.
