Wireshark is marking BGP FlowSpec NLRI as malformed if NLRI length is larger
than 239 bytes.

Please see attached PCAP for details. 

it is most probably happening in "static int decode_flowspec_nlri(proto_tree
*tree, tvbuff_t *tvb, gint offset, guint16 afi, packet_info *pinfo)"



this part seems to be wrong:

tot_flow_len = tvb_get_guint8(tvb, offset);2573     
/* if nlri length is greater than 240 bytes, it is encoded over 2 bytes */
/* with most significant nibble all in one. 240 is encoded 0xf0f0, 241 0xf0f1
*/
/* max possible value value is 4095 Oxffff */

if (tot_flow_len >= 240)
{
         len_16 = tvb_get_ntohs(tvb, offset);
         tot_flow_len = len_16 >> 4; /* move 4 bits to the right to remove
first f */
         offset_len = 2;
     } else {
        offset_len = 1;
    }
