Ethereal 0.10.8 is now available
Ethereal 0.10.8 has been released.

This release fixes the following security-related issues:

Matthew Bing discovered a bug in DICOM dissection that could make
Ethereal crash. (CAN-2004-1139)

An invalid RTP timestamp could make Ethereal hang and create a large
temporary file, possibly filling available disk space. (CAN-2004-1140)

The HTTP dissector could access previously-freed memory, causing a
crash. (CAN-2004-1141)

Brian Caswell discovered that an improperly formatted SMB packet could
make Ethereal hang, maximizing CPU utilization. (CAN-2004-1142)

Please see the following advisory for more information:
