Update Information:
Issues have been discovered in the following protocol dissectors:
* A SIP packet could make Ethereal crash under specific conditions, as described in the following message:
(0.10.3).
* The AIM dissector could throw an assertion, causing Ethereal to terminate abnormally (0.10.3).
* It was possible for the SPNEGO dissector to dereference a null pointer, causing a crash (0.9.8 to 0.10.3).
* The MMSE dissector was susceptible to a buffer overflow. (0.10.1 to 0.10.3).
