Hi,

 

Ethereal 0-10.7 (WinXP)

 

If HTTP is an enabled protocol and the HTTP preference setting ‘Reassemble Chunked transfer-coded bodies’ is enabled.

 

Ethereal crashes when reading the attached packet with;

“

Glib-ERROR **: gmem.c:140 failed to allocate 4294967280 bytes aborting…

“

 

This packet is taken from a ‘Nessus’ scan (http://www.nessus.org).

 

HTTP header;

“

GET /index.nes HTTP/1.0

Transfer-Encoding: chunked

 

fffffff0

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“

 

Disabling ‘Reassemble Chunked transfer-coded bodies’ fixes the problem.

 

Cheers

 

Giles Scott
