Created an attachment (id=7577)
--> (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=7577)
An alternate patch ... but doesn't avoid all possible crashes.
This patch also works, at least for the attached capture file; however, if
someone really wanted to crash Wireshark, then it would be trivial to replace
the packet length with some other large value other than 0xffffffff but still
be greater than WTAP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE. I tested such a scenario, changing
0xffffffff to 0xfffffffe and Wireshark crashed again. So, I think either the
1st patch is the way to go, or something else entirely, but I'm not sure what
that something else would be.
