SVN Rev 23268 introduces changes that cause the wireshark to segfault.
Problem triggered for me inside an sFlow dissector where most of the actual
rtsp data was missing from the sample.
details:
packet-rtsp.c passes a string pointer to dissector_try_string(...) without
verifying that the pointer is pointing some place useful.
fix:
only call dissector_try_string(...) if the string pointer is not NULL.
and/or
patch dissector_try_string(...) to return FALSE or assert if it is passed a
NULL.
I'll include patches for both. The packet-rtsp.c patch should be applied
either way. I'm ambivalent about the packet.c patch.
