Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Assimp::AMFImporter::Postprocess_BuildMeshSet stack shown in the report and download testcase 5236639130779648. Follow the OSS-Fuzz reproducing instructions with the assimp_fuzzer MSAN job, then trace the uninitialized value through Postprocess_BuildNodeAndObject and Postprocess_BuildScene. Done means the reproducer no longer reports a MemorySanitizer error and the regression status is documented.
