The Coverity audit turned up several UI-related bugs that could
make Ethereal crash.
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly
updated) since the last release:
o The new command line tool dumpcap makes it possible to capture
network data without the drawbacks of (t)ethereal (memory
usage, security problems, ...) while keeping the benefit of
advanced techniques like multiple (ringbuffer) files and
alike.
The man page of dumpcap in HTML format is available at
http://www.ethereal.com/docs/man-pages/dumpcap.1.html.
o The source distribution of Ethereal now supports SSL, IPsec
ESP, and ISAKMP decryption. (This feature has not yet been
enabled in the Windows installer.)
o Win32: Catch hardware exceptions caused by buggy dissectors.
If e.g. a NULL pointer exceptions occurs, Ethereal won't crash
now but displays the exception and tries to continue decoding
packets.
o The Windows version of Ethereal now uses native open and save
file dialogs.
In related news, Ethereal now runs as a full-fledged Unicode
application under Windows.
o Recent versions of Ethereal were flagging packets with an
incorrect TCP checksum as malformed. False positives were
being triggered on systems that use TCP checksum offloading.
We now check to see if the checksum is not 0x0000 before
flagging the packet as malformed.
Please Note
If your system uses TCP checksum offloading and Ethereal still
shows bad checksums for outgoing TCP packets and the checksums
for outgoing TCP packets are not 0x0000, this could mean that
your operating system is exposing kernel memory
unnecessarily. If this is the case, you should report the
problem to your OS vendor.
o The expert analysis feature has been enhanced.
