As reported to the Debian bug tracking system,
I've checked in a change to the OPSI dissector to make it check for bogus TLV lengths. (If the length in a TLV is the length of the entire TLV, not just the length of the value, then the loop that processes the TLVs *M*U*S*T* check to make sure the length is at least the sum of the length of the type field and the length of the length field, so that it does *NOT* loop infinitely if the length field is 0.)
