Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Tshark ver 0.99.6 crashed whole system 4th time while using display-filter option

["Moheed Moheed Ahmad" <moheedm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I had a tshark built on version 0.99.6.

 

My system mets serious crashes while running tshark using display filters and goes to KGDB. (crash is not consistent though, this time it was 4th crash). I couldn't get any core as system went to KGDB mode.

 

Please let me know if it's known issue. and if yes, has it been fixed in 1.0.0?

 

Here are the other relevent information

 a) I was running tshark (version 0.99.6) as a root
Output of
root#tshark -v

 b) Processor Intel (Xeon) also Linux kernel 2.6.10

 c) I used following display filters. (For three crashes it was different )

               -r "arp && arp.dst.port_ipv4 == 172.23.145.196"

               -r "ip.proto == 1"

               -r "ip.addr == 192.168.1.2"

               -r "ip.addr == 172.23.145.198"

 

 

Also When I run tshark without root, it errors out with permission denied. What can I do to run it as a normal user?
