Ethereal 0.10.13 has been released.
Bug Fixes
Several security vulnerabilities have been fixed since the previous
release. See the [1]application advisory for more details.
o The ISAKMP dissector could exhaust system memory. Versions affected:
0.10.11 to 0.10.12.
o The FC-FCS dissector could exhaust system memory. Versions affected:
0.9.0 to 0.10.12.
o The RSVP dissector could exhaust system memory. Versions affected:
0.9.4 to 0.10.12.
o The ISIS LSP dissector could exhaust system memory. Versions affected:
0.8.18 to 0.10.12.
o The IrDA dissector could crash. Versions affected: 0.10.0 to 0.10.12.
o The SLIMP3 dissector could overflow a buffer. Versions affected: 0.9.1
to 0.10.12.
o The BER dissector was susceptible to an infinite loop. Versions
affected: 0.10.3 to 0.10.12.
o The SCSI dissector could dereference a null pointer and crash.
Versions affected: 0.10.3 to 0.10.12.
o If the "Dissect unknown RPC program numbers" option was enabled, the
ONC RPC dissector might be able to exhaust system memory. This option
is disabled by default. Versions affected: 0.7.7 to 0.10.12.
o The sFlow dissector could dereference a null pointer and crash.
Versions affected: 0.9.14 to 0.10.12.
o The RTnet dissector could dereference a null pointer and crash.
Versions affected: 0.10.8 to 0.10.12.
o The SigComp UDVM could go into an infinite loop or crash. Versions
affected: 0.10.12.
o If SMB transaction payload reassembly is enabled the SMB dissector
could crash. This preference is disabled by default. Versions
affected: 0.9.7 to 0.10.12.
o The X11 dissector could attempt to divide by zero. Versions affected:
0.10.1 to 0.10.12.
o The AgentX dissector could overflow a buffer. Versions affected:
0.10.10 to 0.10.12.
o The WSP dissector could free an invalid pointer. Versions affected:
0.10.1 to 0.10.12.
o The NCP dissector was susceptible to an infinite loop. Versions
affected: 0.9.7 to 0.10.12.
o The ACSE dissector was susceptible to infinite recursion. Versions
affected: 0.10.12.
o The CLNP dissector could crash. Versions affected: 0.9.11 to 0.10.12.
o iDEFENSE found a buffer overflow in the SRVLOC dissector. Versions
affected: 0.10.0 to 0.10.12.
When trying to save a flow graph, Ethereal could crash.
When viewing protocol hierarchy statistics, Ethereal and Tethereal could
crash.
The PCRE library that ships with the Windows installer has been upgraded
from version 4.4 to 6.3 in response to a [2]security vulnerability.
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated) since
the last release:
o The timestamp display precision of the Packet List can be adjusted
now. The precision will be automatically adjusted depending on the
file format loaded, e.g. libpcap typically uses microsecond resolution
displayed like "0.000000". In addition you can adjust the precision
manually through the View/Time Display Format menu items.
o The WinPcap version 3.1 installer was released since the last Ethereal
release. The version included in the Ethereal Windows installer has
been updated from 3.1 beta 4 to 3.1. If you want to upgrade WinPcap
separately or install a different version you can download it from:
[3]the WinPcap web site.
o The behavior of the display filter "ip.checksum_bad" has changed.
Instead of merely checking for its presence you must now make sure it
is set, e.g. instead of using "ip.checksum_bad" you must now use
"ip.checksum_bad == 1".
o A new capture file format "Nanosecond libpcap (Ethereal)" was added.
It is very similar to the common libpcap file format but is capable of
keeping nanosecond resolution timestamps. This format is currently
supported only by Ethereal.
o Ethereal's memory managment has been greatly improved.
o Ethereal can now save gzip-compressed capture files.

Getting Ethereal
Microsoft Windows
Download ethereal-setup-0.10.13.exe from the [4]Windows download area on
the main web site. Double-click the installer executable.
Sun Solaris
Download the appropriate package from the [5]Solaris download area on the
main web site. Uncompress the package using bzip2, and install it using
pkgadd.
Source Code
Download ethereal-0.10.13.tar.gz from the [6]main download area on the web
site. Extract the package using tar and gzip. Run "configure ; make ; make
install".
Vendor-supplied Packages
Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Ethereal packages. You can
install or upgrade Ethereal using the package management system specific
to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be found on the
[7]download page on the Ethereal web site.
File Locations
Ethereal and Tethereal look in several different locations for preference
files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations vary
from platform to platform. You can use About->Folders to find the default
locations on your system.
Known Problems
On Windows systems the packet list scroll bar can sometimes disappear or
become unusable. Until the problem is fixed you can work around it by
resizing the packet list or the main window. ([8]Bug #220)
Getting Help
Community support is available on the ethereal-users mailing list.
Subscription information and archives for all of Ethereal's mailing lists
can be found on [9]the web site. There is also an [10]IRC channel
dedicated to Ethereal.
Commercial support, training, and development services are available from
[11]Ethereal Software.
Frequently Asked Questions
A complete FAQ is available on the [12]Ethereal web site.
