Sorry if this has already got posted.

Seeweed found this in ssldump the other day.  The follwoing text is from his
website (http://dropwire.dhs.org/~seeweed/):


SSLDUMP is a program witch is simallar to tcpdump, but also adds encryption
to its network debugging procedures..It captures traffic then decodes it to
stdout ... Overall it is a great program to use when finding out where
something went wrong or just to see what your buddy's encryption he has
choosen to use was

Here is the bug I have found...(the Author has been notified..)

1) Run SSLDUMP (needs you to be root unless setuid)

2)Open Up Netscape Navigator it)

3) Type the following in Netscape Navigator: fixme:%s%s%s%s%s%s


4) watch as ssldump with gather the traffic then segfault..
