Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] bug in packet-bgp.c (Ethereal) and print-bgp.c (tcpdump)

[Resending-- was previously sent to ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx.] The expression (BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_EXT ||BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_NSSA) will always evaluate to 1. As well, neither of these constants are defined as flag values, so a bitwise op was probably not intended either. Commit log for packet-bgp.c in Ethereal shows that this code originated from Aamer Akhter, and was later ported to tcpdump by Hannes Gredler. I have sent them copies of this notice for comment. Below is my attempt to fix the code in both projects. Is it correct? (This is untested, I don't have a trace to test with.) ethereal patch: --- packet-bgp.c.orig Thu Oct 5 19:59:25 2006 +++ packet-bgp.c Thu Oct 5 20:00:40 2006 @@ -2268,7 +2268,7 @@ /* always print E2 even if not external route -- receiving router should ignore */ if ( (tvb_get_guint8(tvb,q+7)) & BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_METRIC_TYPE ) { junk_gbuf_ptr += g_snprintf(junk_gbuf_ptr, MAX_STR_LEN-(junk_gbuf_ptr-junk_gbuf), " E2"); - } else if (tvb_get_guint8(tvb,q+6)==(BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_EXT ||BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_NSSA ) ) { + } else if ( (tvb_get_guint8(tvb,q+6)==BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_EXT) || (tvb_get_guint8(tvb,q+6)==BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_NSSA) ) { junk_gbuf_ptr += g_snprintf(junk_gbuf_ptr, MAX_STR_LEN-(junk_gbuf_ptr-junk_gbuf), " E1"); } else { junk_gbuf_ptr += g_snprintf(junk_gbuf_ptr, MAX_STR_LEN-(junk_gbuf_ptr-junk_gbuf), ", no options"); tcpdump patch: --- print-bgp.c.orig Thu Oct 5 19:35:04 2006 +++ print-bgp.c Thu Oct 5 19:45:35 2006 @@ -1508,7 +1508,7 @@ *(tptr+6), tokbuf, sizeof(tokbuf)), (*(tptr+7) & BGP_OSPF_RTYPE_METRIC_TYPE) ?
