Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] question about bug 3303

Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 16:58:29 +0200 (CEST)
Hi Sake,

Can someone confirm to me what is happening to bug 3303
(https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3303) at the moment?
It hasn't seen much activity lately.

Thank you for pinging, this bug is still on my list to look at. But time is a limited resource :-( and this issue is kind of a tough one to dig into.

I understand.

Although it is categorised as 'Low Normal' importance at the moment, in my
case it is a showstopper and would love to see it resolved.

Are you sure you are encountering the same issue? There were some reports of similar issues that actually had a different cause. Will you be able to post a capture file showing the issue you have at hand? That way it can be determined if you run into the same issue. You can attach the tracefile to the bug-report. If necessary, you can mark it as private so that only the core-developers have access to it.

I'm not sure if I can post a capture file (probably I can't), but the reason why I think that it's this issue is that I see the following in my SSL debug log:

[..]

[..]

The URL on the Bugzilla page for issue 3303 refers to a message on this email list (http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users/200903/msg00047.html) which seems to have the same error message.

In all my captures I see that the packet containing "Server Hello, Certificate, Server Key Exchange, Encrypted Handshake Message" is fragmented and I can't raise the MTU in my environment.

Is this the same issue you think?

Thanks!

Kolos
