Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] asn1_ctx_t introduced in more BER functions

      Hi Anders,


I have done some tests (gsm_map,bssmap,camel,inap,gsm_ss),
and I see a problem in gsm_ss_dissect
(asn1/gsm_ss/packet-gsm_ss-template.c)
To decode an USSD string, you have to give the actx pointer, when you call
the decoding function (as this is done in Notify SS).
Else, there is a crash, during the BER decoding, because we access to
actx->pinfo.

I suppose there is the same problem with other functions like
"lcs-AreaEventCancellation etc..", because we will try to access
actx->pinfo during the BER decoding. So, in any case, it is safer to give a
valid pointer to the asn1 context.

Regards
Florent

Hi,
asn1_ctx_t has been introduced in more BER functions as this affects many
dissectors something may have
been broken. If you have BER encoded traces please do some regression
tests.
