The following crash due to a stack-based out-of-bounds memory access can be observed in an ASAN build of Wireshark (current git master), by feeding a malformed file to tshark ("$ ./tshark -nVxr /path/to/file"):
Attached are three files which trigger the crash.

A brief analysis shows that the cdma2k_message_ACTIVE_SET_RECORD_FIELDS() function accepts an "guint16 *l_offset" argument, and successively increases the value under the pointer as it parses through the packet, e.g.:
--- cut ---
3797 *l_offset+=5;
...
3808 *l_offset+=4;
...
3815 *l_offset+=5;
...
3835 *l_offset+=3;
--- cut ---
In lines 3860 and 3865 however, the code increases the pointer itself and not the underlying value, causing it to point to some invalid location on the stack. The extent to which the pointer is shifted by is somewhat controlled by the attacker due to the loop in lines 3862-3867:
--- cut ---
3859 recLen = tvb_get_bits8(tvb,*l_offset, 3);
3860 l_offset+=3;
3861 item2 = proto_tree_add_item(subtree1, hf_cdma2k_Type_Specific_Fields, tvb, (*l_offset/8),recLen+1, ENC_NA);
3862 while(recLen > 0)
3863 {
3864 proto_item_append_text(item2," 0x%02x",tvb_get_bits8(tvb,*l_offset, 8));
3865 l_offset+=8;
3866 recLen-=1;
3867 }
--- cut ---
Later in the code, the corrupted l_offset pointer is both read from and written to multiple times:
--- cut ---
3869 proto_tree_add_bits_item(subtree1, hf_cdma2k_Pwr_Comb_Ind, tvb, *l_offset, 1, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
3870 *l_offset+=1;
3871 if(chInd == 5 || chInd == 7)
3872 {
3873 proto_tree_add_bits_item(subtree1, hf_cdma2k_Code_Chan_Fch, tvb, *l_offset, 11, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
3874 *l_offset+=11;
3875 proto_tree_add_bits_item(subtree1, hf_cdma2k_Qof_Mask_Id_Fch, tvb, *l_offset, 2, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
3876 *l_offset+=2;
3877 }
--- cut ---
Such non-continuous stack-based OOB writes could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Wireshark process.
The bug was reported at https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15322. Attached are three files which trigger the crash.
