a network traffic analyzer.  These vulnerabilities are described in the
ethereal advisory enpa-sa-00015.  Of these, only one (CVE-2004-0635)
affects the version of ethereal in Debian woody.  This vulnerability
could be exploited by a remote attacker to crash ethereal with an
invalid SNMP packet.

For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been
fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody8.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.10.5-1.

We recommend that you update your ethereal package.";
