Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] same PDU over differnt number of TCP-Segements causes wrong reassembling

[Robert Naumann <robert.naumann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

i have got a new problem with tcp_dissect_pdus(). I got a PDU with the 
fixed header lenght of 8 Bytes, which also contains the lenght of the 
whole PDU.  The lenght-information is stored in the 3th Byte, so the 
minimum Headersize is 3.  The Datalength of the PDU in my cases is 
always 1 Byte.

In the first case the PDU is split over 4 TCP-Segments:

1. Segment: 1 Byte (PDU Type)
2. Segment: 1 Byte (some stuff)
3. Segment: 1 Byte (length-information)
4. Segment: 5 Bytes (some stuff + one Databyte)

- in this case tcp_dissect_pdus(tvb, pinfo, tree, TRUE, 3 , get_pdu_len, 
dissect_pdus);  works fine
-> get_pdu_len passes 9 as the number of Bytes for the whole PDU
-> reassembling works followed by a correct dissection

In the second case the PDU is only slip over 2 TCP-Segments:

1. Segment: 1 Byte (PDU Type)
2. Segment: 8 Bytes (some stuff + length information + some stuff + 
Databyte)

- in this case tcp_dissect_pdus(tvb, pinfo, tree, TRUE, 3 , get_pdu_len, 
dissect_pdus);  doesnt work correctly
-> get_pdu_len passes 9 as the number of Bytes for the whole PDU
-> the wireshark-frame only shows [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU] 
with reassembled 3 Bytes (minimum Headerbytes)
-> the rest seems to be ignored, which causes wrong dissection of the 
following packets in the same direction

I already looked in packet-tcp.c and tried to figure out whats 
happening. tcp_dissect_pdus() seems to work correctly. I think the 
problem lies in desegment_tcp() but i couldn't figure out whats wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.
