|ethereal-users,

|Ethereal 0.10.3 has problems decoding packets with MMS v1.2 
|headers. With Ethereal 0.10.0 this problem caused Ethereal to 
|crash whenever the packet was highlighted in the capture.

The crash you mention was caused by a write to uninitialized memory. This
has been fixed some time ago. It is however true that no MMS 1.2 headers
have been added to the MMS dissector. If I find some spare time, I'll add
them.

|Now, at least Ethereal 0.10.3 no longer crashes, but the 
|packets are not decoded properly. Ethereal complains the 
|packets are malformed.

I suppose the "[Malformed Packet]" text appears at the very first MMS/1.2
header, correct? Currently I have no MMS/1.2 captures at hand, so if you
could disclose one, it would be very useful.

|Also, on another note. How can I submit a request for IMPS / 
|Wireless Village protocol decode support in Ethereal?

I recently have contributed WV-CSP/1.0 and WV-CSP/1.1 (WBXML decoding), it
is available in 0.10.3. The WV-CSP/1.2 token definitions are already
included in the dissector source but as there are still some bugs in the
WV-CSP/1.2 token definitions, I did not activate it yet.

Olivier
