Description Marian Rehak 2019-04-09 10:55:11 UTC
A crash due to an assertion failure can be observed in an ASAN build of Wireshark, by feeding a malformed file to tshark ("$ ./tshark -nVxr /path/to/file").

Created wireshark tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1697948]

Comment 4 Riccardo Schirone 2019-05-16 09:35:23 UTC
An assertion is reachable in call_dissector_only() in epan/packet.c, which checks whether the handle passed as argument is not NULL. In debug builds, this may just crash the application, while in release builds a NULL pointer dereference, with following crash, is possible.
