Gerald Combs then found more overflows in the netbios and ntp decoding logic as well. An attacker can exploit those overflows by sending carefully crafted packets to a network that is being monitored by ethereal. This has been fixed in version 0.8.0-2potato and we recommend you upgrade your ethereal package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato - --------------------------------- Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
