Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [Wireshark-commits] rev 50836: /trunk/epan/dissectors/ /trun

You know, I feel somewhat relieved that my suspicion that I was going to break something was right. ;-)

Fixed in r50892 and scheduled for back-porting.

(As mentioned in the bug, r50836 should be left in.)

         From doc/README.dissector, it seems like passing -1 for the
        length should work:


    It works in 1.8.x...
    I am trying to make a git bisect to find the source of this problem...

     (Finally!) check in part of Didier's patch to fix
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3290
     (TRY_TO_FAKE_THIS_ITEM disables bounds errors):

     Before calling TRY_TO_FAKE_THIS_ITEM() check if the length given
(or, in
     the case of FT_UINT_{STRING,BYTES}, the length we retrieve from the
TVB)
     exceeds what's left in the TVB.

     Do this only for proto_tree_add_item() for now (it's the most
commonly used
     and thus the biggest trouble maker in this area).

     Similar changes for other APIs will come later (if nothing blows
up).  Despite
     the fuzz failures this bug has caused I'm not sure about
back-porting it...




    Regards,


             FT_STRINGZ  A NULL-terminated string of characters.
                         The string length is normally the length
                         given in the proto_tree_add_item() call.
                         However if the length given in the call
                         is -1, then the length used is that
                         returned by calling tvb_strsize().

        If not, does the documentation need updating?
        - Chris
