Re:
./plugins/asn1/packet-asn1.c
leak and dissect a tvb buff in proto_reg_handoff() outside a TRY block.
proto_reg_handoff_asn1() call read_asn1_type_table() which use tvb functions
for decoding data from a file but proto_reg_handoff is not inside a TRY
CATCH
block thus tvb functions could throw uncaught exceptions.
IMO, doing anything with this isn't worth any energy. :)
1. As Anders noted:
"I don't think this dissector is used any more so low prio."
2. The dissector default pref is a null ASN1 filename so the code is not
normally executed.
and so on.....
So: I'm now closing this bug as fixed since I believe all the other cases
reported in this bug of tvb_new_real_data leaking memory have been fixed.
Thanks for the detailed report (it did take a while for us to completely
address it) !
