Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) announced yesterday that there is a vulnerability which could cause it to crash, use up all available memory, or potentially execute arbitrary code. It is highly recommended that we upgrade to version 0.99.2. I would assume that those using the older Ethereal versions should move over to the new Wireshark branded versions as well.
