From doc/README.dissector, it seems like passing -1 for the length should
work:


It works in 1.8.x...
I am trying to make a git bisect to find the source of this problem...

    (Finally!) check in part of Didier's patch to fix
    https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3290
    (TRY_TO_FAKE_THIS_ITEM disables bounds errors):

    Before calling TRY_TO_FAKE_THIS_ITEM() check if the length given (or, in
    the case of FT_UINT_{STRING,BYTES}, the length we retrieve from the TVB)
    exceeds what's left in the TVB.

    Do this only for proto_tree_add_item() for now (it's the most commonly
used
    and thus the biggest trouble maker in this area).

    Similar changes for other APIs will come later (if nothing blows up).
Despite
    the fuzz failures this bug has caused I'm not sure about back-porting
it...




Regards,


    FT_STRINGZ  A NULL-terminated string of characters.
                The string length is normally the length
                given in the proto_tree_add_item() call.
                However if the length given in the call
                is -1, then the length used is that
                returned by calling tvb_strsize().

If not, does the documentation need updating?
