Hello,

I see from your CVS archives that ISO 8823 Presentation Protocol
support was first integrated in Ethereal in version 0.10.1 [0]. If
this is true, then the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
identifier CAN-2004-0367 [1] incorrectly suggests that earlier versions
are affected by a presentation protocol bug:

  ``Ethereal 0.8.13 to 0.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause
    a denial of service (crash) via a zero-length Presentation
    protocol selector.=B4=B4

The CVE text should probably be changed to name versions 0.10.1 to
0.10.2 as affected. You might consider writing to them [2] if you
agree with my finding.
