Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] malformed packet for no reason

[Dirk Jagdmann <doj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I guess the packet you are trying to dissect is shorter than your two loops over
i and j assume. In your inner loop you do something like:

*plen += data_size;

So plen will be greater than num_of_data_arrs*num_of_data_chunks*data_size
bytes. Then you do a

val_ptr = tvb_get_ptr(tvb, *plen, data_size);

But tvb_get_ptr() can return NULL when out of bounds of the current packet. I
guess this condition is reached on your 6th iteration.
