Re:Potential hole in Ettercap 0.6.2

It is not configured as default from their source forge distrobution files. I did find out that that using %s instead 
of %x caused it do dump the current working directory:
ettercap %s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s
ettercap 0.6.0 brought from the dark side of the net by ALoR and NaGA...

may the packets be with you...


Invalid host address PWD=/rootÄôÿt$,èy²þÿÄ Äôhèi²þÿÄôj
ettercap0.6.0Uåì
                PWD=/rootÄÄüShiÿèZÿÿÄôjÿèDbÿÿìÜ !!

Pretty strange no dbout, but since you can't run as a regular user no real security implications...
