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_out.c:851 fails.


if (split == 0) {
  LWIP_ASSERT("Can't split segment into length 0", 0);
  return ERR_VAL;
}


This code is written in tcp_split_unsent_seg(),
and that is called from tcp_slowtmr() as below:


if (tcp_split_unsent_seg(pcb, (u16_t)pcb->snd_wnd) == ERR_OK) {


The 2nd argument of tcp_split_unsent_seg() is `split`.
If LWIP_WND_SCALE is defined, `pcb->snd_wnd` has 32-bit value.
If the lower 16bit of it is 0x0000, the value of `split` becomes 0x0000.
For example, if the value of `pcb->snd_wnd` is 0xffff0000, that of `split` is 0x0000.

As a result, the assertion fails.

You can reproduce this failure with 'crashed_inputs/008', attached to the following message of lwip-devel:
