Hi,

Just make sure you don't read more bytes from the tvb than that are in their. You should have some measure from the protocol fields themselves, or use tvb_length_remaining()

Thanx,
Jaap

Hi everyone,
I wrote a dissector for a special protocol, which may has only 40~44 bytes packets. Although i can dissect it as well, i'll receive a red [Malformed Packet : myprotocolname] label at the end of the packet details window . How to remove this this restrict and make wireshark allows packet which length is from 40 to 2000 bytes?
 Sorry for my poor english.



Sincerely yours,
