This error is produced by the OLD EFI toolkit.
It results because the current working directory is not set. The ASSERT is
triggered specifically because CWD does not contain a ':'.
Within either the EFI or UEFI shells, CWD is not set until after the first time
one explicitly sets it. For example, the initial prompt from the Shell is
"Shell> ". If you see this prompt, there is NO CWD. If you then switch to one
of the mapped drives, say fs0, then CWD will be set for that volume. Example:
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\>
After the above sequence, the CWD will be the root, "\", of volume "fs0".

+1,
I have also seen this issue, when I was using open() function of libc in one of
the efi application.
But I couldn't find the reason behind this.

I am getting this error message in the shell when invoking the python
interpreter or when launching the ftp command.
I don't know why I am getting this error message. I remember that Python was
running fine few months ago.
I cannot find what is causing this error.
Does anybody experience this issue?
The error message: "assertion "tmp != NULL" failed: file "sys\open.c", line 171"
Thanks for the help.
