The semantics behind ws_pipe_close() were broken since its introduction. Forcing process termination on Windows, while simply setting variable on other systems results in more OS specific code sprinkled all over the place instead of less. Moreover ws_pipe_close() never handled standard file handles. It is really hard to come up with sensible ws_pipe_close() replacement, as process exit is actually asynchronous action. It is recommended to register child watch using g_child_watch_add() instead. Do not call ws_pipe_close() when deleting capture interface. Things will break if extcap is still running when interface opts are being freed and terminating process won't help. Rework maxmind shutdown to rely on GIOChannel state. For unknown reason TerminateProcess() is still needed on Windows. The actual root cause should be identified and fixed instead of giving up hope that it will ever work correctly on Windows. In other words, TerminateProcess() should not be used as a pattern, but rather as a last resort. |

Handling security fixes in source package wireshark Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer and it's ability to perform deep packet inspection in live traffic may encourage users to use Wireshark/Tshark as a part of an intrusion detection or traffic monitoring system. In that case, please note that Wireshark/Tshark may contain remotely triggerable bugs causing crashes or allowing code injection. Bugs allowing code injection will be fixed in regular Debian Security Advisories, but fixes for pure crash bugs may be delayed. -- Balint Reczey <balint@balintreczey.hu> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:38:33 +0200
