Wireshark 0.99.6 Release Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Wireshark?
Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol analyzer.
It is used for troubleshooting, analysis, development, and
education.
What's New
Bug Fixes
The following vulnerabilities have been fixed. See the [1]security
advisory for details and a workaround.
o Wireshark could crash when dissecting an HTTP chunked
response. (Bug [2]1394)
Versions affected: 0.99.5
o On some systems, Wireshark could crash while reading iSeries
capture files. (Bug [3]1415)
Versions affected: 0.10.14 to 0.99.5
o Wireshark could exhaust system memory while reading a
malformed DCP ETSI packet. (Bug [4]1264)
Versions affected: 0.99.5
o Wireshark could loop excessively while reading a malformed SSL
packet. (Bug [5]1582)
Versions affected: 0.8.20 to 0.99.5
o The DHCP/BOOTP dissector was susceptible to an off-by-one
error. (Bug [6]1416)
Versions affected: 0.10.17 to 0.99.5
o Wireshark could loop excessively while reading a malformed MMS
packet. (Bug [7]1342)
Versions affected: 0.10.12 to 0.99.5
The following bugs have been fixed:
o WEP decryption would only work for the first key specified.
disappear or become unusable. WEP and WPA decryption didn't
work for QoS frames. WPA decryption failed if EAPOL handshake
packets contained extra data. Wireshark failed to parse
colon-separated WEP keys.
o Merging files in Wireshark now appends files properly.
o Wireshark could hang while saving an RTP stream with bad
timestamp data.
o You must now explicitly pass "--disable-wireshark" to the
build environment if you only want to build TShark; the
configure script will fail, rather than automatically building
only TShark, if it's run on a system that doesn't have GTK+
headers and libraries installed.
o Capture from named pipes (via -i \\<server>\pipe\<pipename>)
now works under Windows.
o The frame.time_delta display filter now works as expected,
matching the delta time between the current and previous
captured packet. A new filter, frame.time_delta_displayed,
matches the delta time between the current and previous
displayed packet.
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly
updated) since the last release:
o You no longer have to restart Wireshark after changing column
preferences. Woohoo!
o You can now export HTTP objects via
File->Export->Objects->HTTP.
o [8]Display filter macros are now supported.
o Right-clicking on a packet lets you copy many more things,
such as the packet summary and the packet bytes.
o You can now match upper- and lower-case text with the contains
operator, e.g. upper(http.request.method) contains "GET".
o A great deal of code has been cleaned up, including fixing
many compiler errors. Many thanks to those who worked on this.

Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
the [9]download page on the main web site.
Vendor-supplied Packages
Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages.
You can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package
management system specific to that platform. A list of third-party
packages can be found on the [10]download page on the Wireshark
web site.
File Locations
Wireshark and TShark 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
The Filter button is nonfunctional in the file dialogs under
Windows. ([11]Bug 942)
Getting Help
Community support is available on the wireshark-users mailing
list. Subscription information and archives for all of Wireshark's
mailing lists can be found on [12]the web site.
Commercial support, training, and development services are
available from [13]CACE Technologies.
Frequently Asked Questions
A complete FAQ is available on the [14]Wireshark web site.
