It seems that using string.format with contents of TreeItem.text causes a
memory access violation.
HOW TO REPRODUCE
1. Add this Lua dissector to Wireshark:
local proto = Proto("proto", "Protocol")
function proto.dissector(buffer, pinfo, tree)
string.format("%s", tree.text)
end
local udp_table = DissectorTable.get("udp.port")
udp_table:add(12345, proto)
2. Start listening on arbitrary interface and send an UDP packet through it,
with destination port = 12345.
3. Wireshark will print following message on the console:
01:51:03 Warn Dissector bug, protocol PROTO, in packet 16:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION: dissector accessed an invalid memory address
ADDITIONAL INFO
The crash happens only when "string.format("%s", tree.text)" is present in the
code. Additionally, changing "tree.text" to anything else fixes the crash.
