Gentlemen,

Attached, please find a proposed patch to packet-bootp.c. This patch prevents a crash when no MAC address is given in a bootp/dhcp request.  

The problem is that when the size of the MAC address is 0, dissect_bootp calls proto_tree_add_bytes with a start_ptr of 0, which calls proto_tree_set_bytes, which calls g_assert because the start pointer is NULL.

Regards,

Phil Techau
