Patch to correct out-of-bound strncpy()
Build Information:
wireshark 1.0.6
Copyright 1998-2009 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> and contributors.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Compiled with GTK+ 2.12.12, with GLib 2.16.6, with libpcap 0.9.8, with libz
1.2.3, with POSIX capabilities (Linux), without libpcre, without SMI, without
ADNS, without Lua, without GnuTLS, without Gcrypt, with MIT Kerberos, without
PortAudio, without AirPcap.
NOTE: this build doesn't support the "matches" operator for Wireshark filter
syntax.
Running on Linux 2.6.27.12-78.2.8.fc9.i686, with libpcap version 0.9.8.
Built using gcc 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8).

As of version 0.99.8, there has been an annoying problem in the ASN.1
dissector: when using a 'type table' which discribes the ASN.1 syntax of the
traced packets, wireshark would crash on the very first packet.
The cause for the crash is an out-of-boundry write, detected by g_free().

The problem is in showoctets() in
plugins/asn1/packet-asn1.c :
if (dohex) {
str = p = g_malloc(len*2 + 5);
for (i=0; i<len; i++) {
p += sprintf(p, "%2.2X", octets[i]);
}
--> strncpy(p, endstr, len*2 + 5);
} else {
the max length given to strncpy() does not take into account the space already
used by sprint(), causing the strncpy to exceed the allocted buffer.
After correcting this (see patch), it works fine again.
