Hi Vincent, I'have added your patch to the wireshark package with some additional error reporting [1].
Now wireshark/tshark complains about three MIBs: tshark: Stopped processing module SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB due to error(s) to prevent potential crash in libsmi. Module's conformance level: 0. See details at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560325 tshark: Stopped processing module SNMP-MPD-MIB due to error(s) to prevent potential crash in libsmi. Module's conformance level: 0. See details at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560325 tshark: Stopped processing module SNMP-PROXY-MIB due to error(s) to prevent potential crash in libsmi. Module's conformance level: 0. See details at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560325 Related packages installed: snmp-mibs-downloader 1.0 libsmi2ldbl 0.4.7+dfsg-0.1 Could we somehow refine the workaround to not complain about those false positives? Wireshark did not crash even without the workaround with the same MIBs installed.
