Hi All, I'm currently using Wireshark-1.0.9. I just read the http://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2009-04.html My query is that will we see bugs and issues addresed in wnpa-sec-2009-04 be corrected in any future release of 1.0.x series? Please let me know if there are any plans in future to fix following vulnerabilities in 1.0.x series as i'm not keen on using gtk+2 support which is mandatory in 1.2.x version. The AFS dissector could crash. (Bug 3564) Versions affected: 0.9.2 to 1.2.0 The Infiniband dissector could crash on some platforms. Versions affected: 1.0.6 to 1.2.0 The RADIUS dissector could crash. (Bug 3578) Versions affected: 0.10.13 to 1.0.9, 1.2.0 My question is that will we see bugs and issues seen in 1.0.9 and 1.2.x series be fixed in any future release of 1.0.x series? I also see that 1.0.11 is being planned to be released.So will it contain the fix for all the current open bugs/security issues ? Is it possible to fix this issues in 1.0.x series itself? I just read that Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Wireshark, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise a user's system. 1) A boundary error in the Daintree SNA file parser can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted capture file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 2) An error in the IPMI dissector on Windows can be exploited to cause a crash. The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.4. 3) An error in the SMB and SMB2 dissectors can be exploited to cause a crash. The vulnerability is reported in versions 0.9.0 through 1.2.4. So will all these issues/bugs be addressed in V1.0.11 ? Or does V1.0.10 address these issues? Thanks in advance. Any response to above mail will be highly appreciated.
