Date: 	August 18th, 2012

Description:
Updated etherape package fixes security vulnerability:

The add_conversation function in conversations.c in EtherApe before
0.9.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL
pointer dereference and application crash) via an RPC packet, related
to the get_rpc function in decode_proto.c (CVE-2011-3369).


Updated Packages:
