Hi.

I'm having problems decoding tagged Radius attributes (like Tunnel-Type or Tunnel-Medium-Type).

The total length of the attribute is 6, which is what the RFC says, but Ethereal considers that the attribute is incomplete because the length is not >= 7, and doesn't decode it. So it seems that the expected length of the attributte is somehow miscalculated.

I have noticed it in version 0.10.10, but it is also present in 0.10.9. I have managed to find an older version (0.10.4) and it seems to decode them right.

I attach a sample Radius packet with tunnel attributes.

Thanks in advance.

Carlos
