That's what I thought too, looking at the tracefile. However, looking a bit
more deep. It looks like GNUtls is doing a proper job and Wireshark is not. If
you expand the CertificateRequest in the packet details pane, you can see that
it sees a length of 10 for the "Distinguished names", however, this should be
the list of SignatureAndHashAlgorithm. If you look in the hex pane, then it is
clear that after the 10 bytes of SignatureAndHashAlgorithm, there is another
length of "00 16" and that is the Distinguished name list. After that, The new
TLS record with the ServerHelloDone.
tshark does decode things properly when not using -V to fully dissect the
packets.
So... the SSL dissector should be updated according to Errata 1985. One can
wonder wether there are implementations that do follow the RFC instead of the
errata and if Wireshark should be able to distinguish them.
