This one is well known. The reason is that luks2john stores the same
information twice in the hash, and the assertion is there to "prevent"
loading such inconsistent hashes.
This assertion also makes fuzzing somewhat harder, since you have to
make sure to avoid this assertion to find the other bugs.
But LUKS has other issues as well.
Instead of extraction the infor from all used slots it just extracts the
infor from the one slot with lowest iteration count (even if this slot
might refer to a key file instead of a passphrase).

LUKS format and luks2john ("best slot")
