Hi all,

I have found two issues in MEGACO plug-in with MEGACO messages by Trillium
MEGACO stack

file paket-megaco.c in dissect_megaco_text(...) method

1. MEGACO protocol dissector doesn't determinate the MEGACO protocol if
exist some spaces before the 'MEGACO'  word or '!' symbol

line 258: next statement will be failed

     if (strncasecmp(word, "MEGACO", 6) != 0 && tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 0 ) !
= '!') return;

2. TransactionResponseAck

line 499:

      if ( transaction[20] == 'A'){

          should be

     if ( transaction[19] == 'A'){

     also may be need to correct retrieving of TransactionID...


Packet's examples

in below packet you can see one space (0x20 in third row) before MEGACO
word
