wireshark attempting to retrieve a large itnerface list from rpcapd
Build Information:
Version 1.2.0pre2 (SVN Rev 28667)
--
Version of wireshark: Version 1.2.0pre2 (SVN Rev 28667), running on
Windows XP, SP3
rpcapd from is from:
http://www.pawelko.net/linux/17-Rpcapd-For-Linux-Remote-Sniffing-With-Etherealwireshark
rpcapd running on an ethernet switch: Arista DCS-7148S:
http://www.aristanetworks.com/en/7100_Series_SFPSwitches
The switch runs linux (2.6.29.1) and has 48 10G interfaces plus a couple
of management interfaces. 'ifconfig -a' lists 52 interfaces.
When Wireshark attempts to get the interface list from the remote host,
it crashes.
By taking certain actions on the switch, I can prevent the switching ports from
showing up in the interface list, so ifconfig only lists the 2 management ports
+ the loopback. In that case, Wireshark can successfully retrieve these
interfaces and capture as expected. Its only when rpcapd returns 52 interfaces
that Wireshark crashes. A capture the rpcap communication (Remote Packet
Capture, Find all interfaces request) that causes the problem is attached.
Thank you.
