Package: ethereal
Version: 0.10.10-2sarge5
Severity: important
Tags: patch, sarge

Our automated buildd log filter[1] detected a problem that will cause
your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a pointer
is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64.

It appears that the 0.10.10-2sarge5 security update introduced a call
to strdup() without including string.h.
