See the [1]application advisory for more details. + + o The IRC dissector could go into an infinite loop. Versions + affected: 0.10.13. + + o The GTP dissector could go into an infinite loop. Versions + affected: 0.9.1 to 0.10.13. + + o iDefense found a buffer overflow in the OSPF dissector. + Versions affected: 0.8.20 to 0.10.13. + + New and Updated Features + + The following features are new (or have been significantly + updated) since the last release: + + o The Windows installer now ships with GTK+ 2.6 instead of GTK+ + 2.4. This should fix several long-standing bugs. + + o 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. + + o The maximum number of files allowed in a ring buffer has been + increased from 1024 to 10,000. + + o OID to name resolution has been improved. + + o TCP graphs now handle upper and lower bounds better. + + New Protocol Support + + 3Com Netjack200, CDT, CIGI, DAP, DISP, DOP, DSP, FTBP, MS NLB, + NBAP, NCP SSS, NCS, NHRP, P_Mul, RNSAP, SMB2, STANAG 5066, TIPC, + UDP-Lite, X.501 + + Updated Protocol Support + + ACSE, AIM, ALCAP, AMR, ANSI MAP, BER, BitTorrent, BOOTP, CAMEL, + CMP, CMS, COPS, CRMF, DCCP, DCERPC (DCERPC, DSSETUP, INITSHUTDOWN, + NT, WINREG), DEC DNA RT, DNP, DTP, eDonkey, ENIP, ESS, Etheric, + FC-DNS, FC-FZS, FMIPv6, GRE, GSM A, GSM MAP, GTP, H.225, H.235, + H.245, H.248, H.263, H.450, IAPP, IEEE 802.11, INAP, IP, IPv6, + IRC, ISIS LSP, ISUP, IUUP, Juniper, LLDP, M3UA, MIP, MIPv6, + Modbus/TCP, MTP3, NCP, NDPS, NDS, NEMO, NMAS, NTLMSSP, OSPF, PER, + PN-DCP, PPP CHAP, PPPoE, PVFS2, Q.931, RADIUS, RANAP, RDT, RLOGIN, + RMT, ROS, RTCP, RTP, RTSE, S4406, SCCP, SCTP, SES, SIP, SMB, + SNDCP, SRVLOC, STUN, T.38, UMA, WINS Replication, X.411, X.420, + X.509 + + New and Updated Capture File Support + + DOS Sniffer, Endace ERF, HP-UX nettl, IBM iSeries traces, + Tektronix K12 + +Getting Ethereal + + Microsoft Windows + + Download ethereal-setup-0.10.14.exe from the [2]Windows download + area on the main web site.

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. + ([6]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 [7]the web site.
