When the DICOM traffic is not within the displayed first packets, or when user
jumps to a particular packet using goto (not scrolling), the packets show up as
invalid.
This is because packet-dcm does not handle tree=NULL correctly, and the data
structures are not initialized in the correct sequence.
Workaround for the time being, filter the capture to have just the desired
DICOM stream it. And scroll through the packets rather than a direct
navigation.
Fix to be submitted soon.[reply] [-] Comment 1 David 2010-04-02 11:51:17 PDT
The problem is more general. This may occur at any point, but see so far
- When DICOM packets are not within the first few captured ones
- In 1.3, if one of the DCM packets is in packet #512
- When a C-STORE-RSP occurs in the middle of an open C-STORE
The DICOM dissector puts too much assumption into the packet order, as it is
being called by the framework.
The PDU reassembly is pretty reliable, but merging the 'More Fragments' PDUs
together is not done according Wireshark conventions.
As a result, exported DICOM objects can also be corrupt
