Hi, all.

This is one of the assertion failures I found by fuzzing (to lwIP ver2.1.0.RC1).
The following LWIP_ASSERT() at lwip/src/core/tcp.c:1235 fails.


LWIP_ASSERT("tcp_slowtimr: persist ticking with empty send buffer", pcb->unsent != NULL);


From my point of view, incoherent pcb->unsent freeing causes this failure.

As far as I know, pcb->unsent is freed at:
- tcp_abansdon()
- tcp_pcb_purge()
- tcp_receive()

In tcp_receive(), pcb->persist_backoff is not cleared after freeing pcb->unsent.
As a result, pcb->persist_backoff > 0 in spite of pcb->unsent is empty.

You can reproduce this failure with 'crashed_inputs/007' attached to the following message of lwip-devel:
