Line 158 of the current epan/address.h is the

        memcpy(to_data, from->data, from->len);

in copy_address().

The fact that it didn't *crash* is probably because from->len is zero, so it didn't actually try dereferencing either 
of the null pointers, and so that to_data, which is allocated based on from->len, is null.

I guess what it should do is

        if (from->len != 0)
                memcpy(to_data, from->data, from->len);

as ANSI C makes no guarantees that memcpy(NULL, NULL, 0) is harmless.  (In practice, it's probably harmless in all 
implementations, but we shouldn't assume that.)

I just now checked that in as change I0b3dc1541b52670d8fef459754c9494cfcc59e5d.

Line 1558 of epan/crypt/airpdcap.c is

        if (ctx->sa[ctx->first_free_index].used) { 

in AirPDcapStoreSa().  It was assuming that ctx->first_free_index would be within the bounds of the array, which isn't 
guaranteed (what if there *are* no free indices?); I've added a bounds check in 
4f1b8d74338ca2a6ded8498e9d87cbc3294454c0.
