Summary:
--------
In Ethereal 0.8.7 we have fixed a display bug affecting boolean flags
in bitfields that was introduced in 0.8.5. The DNS dissector avoids the
zlip DNS Denial-of-Service exploit. Dissectors for rlogin and SOCKS
4 and 5 were added. Other updated dissectors include SMB, BGP, LLC,
OSI CLNP, and ISIS.
