Dear Wireshark people,


Thanks for an excellent package: it's really invaluable.

A small bug I've found.

Display of ICMPv6 DNS search list option (option 31)

Zero octets following the terminating zero of the last name are flagged
as Error/Malformed, but this is wrong. The length field for ICMPv6
packets gives units of 8 bytes, and RFC 6106 para 5.2 says:

"Because the size of this field MUST be a multiple of 8 octets,
for the minimum multiple including the domain name
representations, the remaining octets other than the
encoding parts of the domain name representations
MUST be padded with zeros."


Cheers,

Simon.

Hi Simon,

It is possible to create a bug in BugTracker ? ( https://bugs.wireshark.org ) with a pcap sample ?

Regards,
