Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] help needed in tracking down a bug in SSL dissector
From: Brian Vandenberg <phantal@xxxxxxxxx>

I found a bug about 9-10 months ago in the SSL dissector that was never fixed, so I'm trying to find/fix the problem myself, but I'm having a hard time tracking it down.

 Essentially this is what happens:

* POST to server occurs, the SSL chunk isn't fragmented.
* When SSL dissector decrypts it a single new data source is added and displayed entitled "Decrypted SSL Data"
* The new data source is then passed to the http dissector.
* ...
* A response from the server is sent, the SSL chunk *IS* fragmented.
* The SSL dissector decrypts each chunk then reconstructs it; four new data sources are added:
** Decrypted SSL data (X bytes)
** Reassembled SSL (Y bytes)
** Decrypted SSL data (Z bytes)
** Reassembled SSL (Y bytes)
** note that both 'Reassembled' data sources have the same size, and the exact same data.
* The reassembled chunks are *both* passed to the http dissector.

The problem is that the SSL dissector is adding the same reassembled chunk as a new data source twice (possibly more, if it is broken up into more than 2 chunks, but so far I've only seen it broken in two chunks). I've spent a couple of days on this, and though I think I'm close, I just don't know enough about the Wireshark API, so I'm making very slow progress.

I expected that it would be as simple as going to line 920 of packet-ssl.c, set a breakpoint, observe that the line is executed twice for each packet where this occurs, then figure out why it executes more than once ... but it only executes that line once for each packet where this occurs, and I don't see another line of code that tries to add a new data source with the text "Reassembled SSL", . I haven't managed to find where the 2nd call to add_new_data_source takes place.

I'm going to continue working on this, however, if anyone has a suggestion, or see's something I'm missing, I'd appreciate the help.

Hi,
which document the MobileDomainDefinitions.asn comes from? I have tries do find any reference in the 3GPP TS 29.002 but without any success. Regards,
