Hi,

Does it work better with revision 35020 or later?

It's working fine now.

Thanks,
Pascal.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] SVN revision 35005 and heuristic dissectors

Hi,

since revision 35005 and the commit of the ReLOAD framing dissector the UDP heuristic dissector I use (LTE-RLC) no longer works. My RLC PDU is seen as a ReLOAD packet.

When looking at the code, the function dissect_reload_framing_heur() calls dissect_reload_framing_message() that does almost no checks:

  /* First, make sure we have enough data to do the check. */
  if (effective_length < MIN_HDR_LENGTH)
    return 0;

  /* Get the type */
  type = tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 0);

  if (type == DATA) {
    /* in the data type, check the reload token to be sure this
       is a reLoad packet */
    message_length = (tvb_get_ntohs(tvb, 1 + 4)<<8)+ tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 1 + 4 + 2);
    if (message_length < MIN_RELOADDATA_HDR_LENGTH) {
      return 0;
    }
    relo_token = tvb_get_ntohl(tvb,1 + 4 + 3);
    if (relo_token != RELOAD_TOKEN) {
      return 0;
    }
  }

The LTE-RLC heuristic dissector adds the "rlc-lte" string at the beginning of the UDP packet and unfortunately it is caught by the code above.

I'm not familiar with this protocol but I guess there is probably a way to avoid breaking other dissectors. Adding the following patch helps on my side but I'm not sure it is fully valid and it still seems weak to me:

Thanks,
Pascal.
