On Nov 20 Ethereal 8.14 was released. Redhat and Debian have 8.14 packages available, powertools 7.0 and the unstable tree in Debian. A notice was sent out on Freshmeat, the exploit was posted to Bugtraq, but there is nothing in suse-security-announce, on the security web page or in the SuSE 7.0 i386 updated packages directory on ftp.suse.com.
Thank you Russell
Hi Russell,
the bugs are the same as the ones in tcpdump a few days ago. It's
libpcap's fault. :-(
Needless to say that not always the latest version of a package is the
best, but we'll provide updates, too. It just needs some more time...
Thanks,
Roman.
