Discovered while working on Pcap.Net, http://pcapdot.net.

In Wireshark 1.6.6, if there is an IPv6 layer with Mobility Options with Link
Layer Address Option. This option is parsed incorrectly when the address field
is empty.
In the attached example, the option type is 7 for Link-Layer address option and
the option data length is 1, which means that the option should be 3 bytes
long.
However, it is parsed as if it is 4 bytes long.

Thanks,

Boaz.
