Hello
Ethereal uses SNMP module ucd-snmp for decoding.
As mentioned recently on bugtraq, almost all snmp clients and servers have
security vulnerabilities.
There is now an update to ucd-snmp to fix some of the problems.

Anyone using ethereal in a production environment should get all the latest
versions of ucd-snmp to help prevent problems.

Cheers
James
