Ah it’s my proposed patch https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/29716/ that makes it assert during startup 😊

Didn’t think of that…

Hi,

At  the very least we should have a test step activating all protocols and starting the application.

As they are disabled by default perhaps fussing is overkill, they might prolong fussing time unduly?

Thanks.

 

Should the fuzz tester(s) enable all dissectors by default?  If I “enable all protocols”, then currently the enabled_protos file lists these 3: prp, stcsig and transum.

Hi,
I think that the problem is that one of these fields has changed name, but debugging the registration phase is hard on Windows as the console is not open...GRR

 

this seems to be the ssl.record.content_type field.

We should check if we can make Transum more robust to this kind of errors in the future.

HF_OF_INTEREST_INFO hf_of_interest[HF_INTEREST_END_OF_LIST] = {

Confirmed on the latest master. Enabling transum crashes wireshark.
