Hi,

The SCCP dissector uses a global variable "assoc" to keep state information
about the packet being dissected. The fields "calling_ssn" and "called_ssn" are
used to make the decision on what subdissector to call next (for example,
ssn=142 means that the RANAP dissector must be used)

It appears that, in some cases, the assoc variable isn't cleared before
dissecting the next packet. This way, the calling_ssn or called_ssn fields keep
the values from the previous packet, and the wrong dissector is called.

The problem can be fixed by changing the lines:

if (called && assoc)
    assoc->called_ssn = ssn;
else if (assoc)
    assoc->calling_ssn = ssn;



to



if (called && assoc) {
    assoc->called_ssn = ssn;
    assoc->calling_ssn = INVALID_SSN;
} else if (assoc) { 
    assoc->calling_ssn = ssn;
    assoc->called_ssn = INVALID_SSN;
}


Note that there are two instances of the above lines on the source code. Both
must be fixed.
