errata in progress
Comment 3 Chris Ricker 2002-08-22 23:15:12 UTC 
Now it needs to be 0.9.6.  Check ethereal.com for still more security issues....
Comment 4 Chris Ricker 2002-08-24 17:09:34 UTC 
BTW, this applies to null as well....

An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. 
This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information

Comment 7 Andrew Gormanly 2002-09-17 08:03:39 UTC 
Will there be a binary errata package built for SPARC/6.2?  Or do the bugs not
affect that platform?
