Hi folks,
Having just downloaded Ethereal 0.9.14 for Win32 to test a SNMP utility I'm
writing, I'm convinced I've come across a bug with Ethereal's SNMP protocol
decode, and I'd like to report it....but to whom do I address bug reports?
If anyone is interested, here's what I've noticed :-
When sending an SNMP datagram containing a SET PDU, and the PDU contains a
NEGATIVE integer, Ethereal's GUI decode tells me it's a POSITIVE number.
E.G. Object is set to -2, but Ethereal displays 254.
The object *is* encoded correctly, E.G 0x02 01 FE, meaning 'Integer','Short
Definite Length of 1 octet' and the 2's compliment version of -2. ASN1 BER
rules state since the MS bit is set, this is a negative integer....
Capture file in libcap format and screenshot available on request.
