Two options: 1. Delete the association between port 5900 and VNC - as VNC has a heuristic dissection (I've added it in the past) 2. 'Decode As' and select Spice (which is what I've done). However, 'Decode As' won't work if the dissector is only heuristic (which sounds like a bug to me) - I had to do: dissector_add_uint("tcp.port", 0, spice_handle); to have it on the list... 3. Fix VNC dissector, that even if it's registered on that port, it won't grab it if it can't find VNC traffic?! 'Un-register' it in that case? not sure how to do it exactly. > > 16.

Has the dissector been fuzz-tested ? No, is there some automated manner of doing it? Wasn't sure how to get fuzz-test.sh work against it: [ykaul@ykaul wireshark]$ tools/fuzz-test.sh -p 10 ~/spice-example.pcap.gz Error: No valid capture files found. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
