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.
