Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 9256] Radiotap decode appears broken

Date: Wed, 09 Oct 2013 17:07:08 +0000

Comment # 4 on bug 9256 from
So this was a regression caused by r52311 which fixed bug #9212. Specifically,
the breaking change was the change to the ITERATOR_VALID macro on line 77 of
packet-ieee80211-radiotap-iter.c. Reverting just that one line fixes this bug.

However, reverting that line also reintroduces one small part of bug #9212 -
with the capture from that bug, valgrind produces:

Perhaps someone more familiar with the protocol could figure out the right way
to fix that without breaking proper dissection? The capture from this bug does
not produce such an error, even with the change reverted.
