Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-09-19 17:40:00 UTC

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way EtherApe, a graphical network monitor, decoded certain RPC packets. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted packet capture file, which once opened by a local unsuspecting user could lead to denial of service (etherape executable crash).

The above is probably incorrect.  0.9.7-12.fc15 was just rebuild not adding any patch.  It also pre-dates upstream bug report.

Upstream report says:

  Thank you. Fixed in 0.9.12

which is probably the source of the confusion (.12 vs. .7-12).
