RE: [ANNOUNCE] WinPcap 4.1.2 has been released

["Rob Nicholls" <robert () robnicholls co uk>]

I've updated our version of the WinPcap installer to support 4.1.2, but
before I commit anything to SVN I thought I'd ask other people to give the
updated installer a try.

I've temporarily uploaded a copy to my web server:

https://www.robnicholls.co.uk/files/nmap-svn/winpcap-nmap-4.12.exe

If you're sensible/cautious and prefer to compile the NSIS installer
yourself, I've also uploaded a copy of the winpcap folder at:

https://www.robnicholls.co.uk/files/nmap-svn/winpcap.zip

It all seems to work fine on the Windows systems I've tested so far, and
I'll try to continue testing later tonight.

Let me know if anyone spots any problems, or if it's okay to commit
everything.

Rob

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] WinPcap 4.1.2 has been released

As of now, WinPcap 4.1.2 is available in the download section of the
WinPcap website, http://www.winpcap.org/

This release fixes a couple of bugs in the WinPcap driver that could
cause an OS crash. It also disables some tracing messages that were
mistakenly printed by the driver.

Full details of the changes can be found in the change log below.

Changelog from WinPcap 4.1.1
============================

- Bug fixing:
  + Fixed a bug reported by Boaz Brickner (http://pcapdotnet.codeplex.com/):
    the driver could cause an OS crash when an IRP_MJ_CLEANUP is processed
    in parallel with an IRP_MJ_READ/WRITE/DEVICECONTROL. The fix defers the
    deallocation of the open structure in IRP_MJ_CLOSE.
  + Fixed a bug in the buffered write code. A malformed transmit buffer sent
    with pcap_sendqueue_transmit could cause a buffer overflow and crash the
    OS.
  + Disabled tracing in the driver (it was left on by mistake in the
    previous release of WinPcap).
  + Added the missing export pcap_free_datalinks.
  + Do not show the installation panel with the OS info.
  + Small fix to the documentation regarding WDK.
