Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] [PATCH] BSSAP dissector handling RANAP DirectTransfers

From: Tobias Witek <witek@xxxxxx>

Hello,

I found a rare situation in which the BSSAP dissector seems to wrongly
assume a packet. 

When a RANAP DirectTransfer message contains the GSM Supplementary
Service 'Call Confirmed' this seems to yield a message that the BSSAP
dissector recognizes as a BSSMAP BLOCK message (and from the perspective
of BSSAP, this is perfectly correct).

My patch includes code that checks this very special case.

I am not 100% happy with the solution, since I am basically reading
BSSMAP information, but it seems to work.

Best regards,

t
