No, just the fact that (a) the bug was found, (b) a testable version proves it,
and (c) future releases will have it (see below).

The bug was in libgcrypt... Werner Koch posted to
(https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1167) that the fix will be released in
1.4.5, so all subsequent releases of wireshark will have it.

Not for me... I'm running w2k and later versions of ws simply won't run on that
platform.  I'm stuck with 1.0.* for now, but that does fine for my needs.

> Thanks to all.

Cheers.
