Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] [PATCH 1/2] Exception handling in packet-mp2t.c (MPEG2 Transport

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <jdb@xxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:20:21 +0100
Each MPEG2 packet contains a number of TS packets. An exception
during processing of TS packets causes processing to stop of the
remaining TS packets.

The call to call_dissector() is very likely to throw a BoundsError
as this protocol splits the media stream up into chunks of
MP2T_PACKET_SIZE.

This patch, catches BoundsError and ReportedBoundsError, to allow
processing of the remaining TS packets.
