Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 11418] Wireshark fails to detect IPv6 invalid payload leng

Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2015 08:40:58 +0000

Comment # 3 on bug 11418 from
Packet 8 in the attached testfile-http.pcap:

The IPv6 header is 40 bytes.
The TCP header is 20 bytes.
The payload is 19 bytes.

The payload length field in the IPv6 header should say 39 (20+19). But what it
does say is 79. Wireshark does not complain about the missing 40 bytes in the
IPv6 payload.
