Segmentation Fault error in nesC for Flooding packet acknowledgement using TinyOS

Question

For my assignment, I am meant to implement Flooding on a network topology. The following is the code for which the when the packet has reached its final destination and I want to return an acknowledgement. The segmentation fault seems to happen at the if-statement: if(myMsg->protocol == PROTOCOL_PING). Why is this happening and how can it be fixed?

event message_t* receiveFlood.receive(message_t* msg, void* payload, uint8_t len){
        dbg(FLOODING_CHANNEL, "Packet Received:  %s\n", msg);
      
        if(len==sizeof(pack)){
            pack* myMsg=(pack*) payload;
            
            if(myMsg->TTL == 0){
                return msg;    
            }
            
            if(CheckCache(myMsg)){
                return msg;
            }

            //We have reached the destination of the packet
            else if(TOS_NODE_ID == myMsg->dest){
                dbg(GENERAL_CHANNEL, "The packet has reached its destination with the message: %s\n", myMsg->payload);
                dbg(FLOODING_CHANNEL, "[Src:Dest] %d : %d\n", myMsg->src, myMsg->dest);
                printf("Hello what is going on \n");

                //This statement is the acknowledgement to the src NODE
                if(myMsg->protocol == PROTOCOL_PING){
                    dbg(GENERAL_CHANNEL, "Acknowledged: %s\n");
                    dbg(FLOODING_CHANNEL, "[Dest:Src] %d : %d\n", myMsg->dest, myMsg->src);
                    
                    dbg(GENERAL_CHANNEL, "Payload: %s\n:", myMsg->payload);
                    //Cache the packet
                    dbg(GENERAL_CHANNEL, "Now Storing msg into cache... %s\n");
                    NodeCache(myMsg);
                    return msg;
                }
                return msg;
            }

            
            dbg(FLOODING_CHANNEL, "Package Payload: %s\n", myMsg->payload);
        
            return msg;
        }
        dbg(GENERAL_CHANNEL, "Unknown Packet Type %d\n", len);
        return msg;
    }

The following is the output result:
