           Summary: GPRS RLCMAC dissector not handling valid PDU

           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: All

            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Low

In packet-gsm_rlcmac.c around line 1157, the table describing < EGPRS Ack/Nack
Description > structure finishes with  the CRBB fields, but the 3GPP
specification (44.060) defines that this is followed by a URBB.

If a PDU with a URBB present is dissected, it throws a dissector error.  The
fix for this may be non-trivial, as the rules for calculating the expected
length of URBB are not simple (see the bottom of Table 12.3.1.2 in 44.060).

I will upload a sample trace, but it will require a wireshark patch before it
can be read (it uses an enhanced gsmtap format which is not yet supported by
wireshark).
