Description Tommaso Pecorella 2013-12-12 17:14:27 UTC

If you try to fragment a packet with a size not multiple of 8 bytes, the packet will be truncated to a size that is multiple of 8 bytes, loosing some data.

Scared of a P1 Blocking bug in the final week before version release, isn't it ?

Fixed in changeset 10515:8238217cb0c3

PS: nobody's using IPv6 fragmentation it seems. Or nobody cares about some missing bytes. You choose.
