Fedora Core 4: 2005-689 Notable: Ethereal Network Analyzer Security Update

fedora
Calendar Grey August 3, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest patch for Ethereal on Fedora Core 4 resolves security issues and fortifies defenses by building applications with Position Independent Executables (PIE) for better protection.
To reduce the risk of future vulnerabilities in Ethereal, the ethereal and tethereal programs in this update have been compiled as Position Independant Executables (PIE).

Summary

Ethereal is a network traffic analyzer for Unix-ish operating systems.

This package lays base for libpcap, a packet capture and filtering

library, contains command-line utilities, and contains plugins and

documentation for ethereal. A graphical user interface is packaged

separately to GTK+ package.

To reduce the risk of future vulnerabilities in Ethereal, the

ethereal and tethereal programs in this update have been

compiled as Position Independant Executables (PIE).

- compile ethereal and ethereal-gnome with PIE (#160780)
