line 2158
the code does not seem to check against the datalen (Length) of suboption 9 to
parse the next suboptions

as a result, if there are multiple suboptions in dhcp option 82
e.g suboption 9, suboption 1, suboption x, suboption y
the dissector ends up by not seeing the following suboptions in the packet and
will wrongly consider these other suboptions as being part of suboption 9
