I’m currently using Wireshark 1.12.5 built on Windows 7 using Visual C++ 12

 

I am adding a GIOP plugin for our internal IDL using the following command to generate the plugin C code

 

C:\Python27\omniorb\omniORB-4.1.6\bin\x86_win32\omniidl.exe -p d:\wireshark-1.12.5\tools -b wireshark_be Q_Quentin.idl > packet-q_quentin.c

 

I am finding that the dissector is getting confused when trying to decode replies. It looks like it is only checking the GIOP request ID to determine which request a reply is for.

 

So when there are multiple machines making requests, the same request ID can get used for different requests. When this happens the replies can get decoded wrongly.

 

In fact multiple threads from a single source IP can use the same GIOP request ID on different ports. This can confuse the reply decode too.

 

I have had a quick look through the dissector code and can’t work out what is doing this.

 

So can someone point me in the right direction and maybe give me some clues about where and whether this can be fixed.

 

Regards

 

Andy Ling
