Well, I doggedly updated to Ethereal 9.3 when you posted it to CVS. Voila!! (Sorry about the French, but I don't know the German word) It works perfectly! In fact, it's bulletproof!! I tried everything I could to crash it and it hasn't crashed even once.
I second Gary's support for Ethereal 0.9.3 ! This is a very welcome update and it places us back on safe ground, since this takes care of all open security issues regarding Ethereal. One question, though: I've had no problems building the standard version, which comes up with the following config:
The Ethereal package has been configured with the following options....
Build ethereal : yes
Build tethereal : yes
Build editcap : yes
Build mergecap : yes
Build text2pcap : yes
Build idl2eth : yes
Build randpkt : no
Build dftest : no
Install setuid : no
Use plugins : yes
Use pcap library : yes
Use zlib library : yes
Use IPv6 name resolution : yes
Use UCD SNMP library : no
Preparing to replace ethereal 0.9.1-1 (using .../ethereal_0.9.3-1_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement ethereal ...
Setting up ethereal (0.9.3-1) ...
So far, so good, but how can I get it to pick up the UCD SNMP library when it is autoconfiguring its build ? I do have the latest installed:
i net-snmp 4.2.3-1 Tools and libraries for SNMP.
Thanks for everything, Max !
