      An assert is hit with  

      WT_ASSERT(session, upd_value->type == WT_UPDATE_STANDARD && !upd_value->skip_buf)

      By looking at the coredump, and the value of upd_value, we see that the upd_value->type is 205, an undefined value.

      (gdb) p/x *cbt->upd_value      
      $5 = {buf = {data = 0x7fa5058219af, size = 0xcdcdcdcd, mem = 0x0, memsize = 0x0, flags = 0x0}, tw = {durable_start_ts = 0xcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcd, start_ts = 0xcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcd, 
          start_txn = 0xcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcd, durable_stop_ts = 0x0, stop_ts = 0xffffffffffffffff, stop_txn = 0xfffffffffffffff5, prepare = 0x0}, type = 0xcd, skip_buf = 0x0}
      

       The backtrace also shows that we are currently walking through an evict reconciliation, and placing the values into the history store.

      As part of inserting the history store values, we look for any higher timestamps than hs values, to potentially correct the higher timestamps. However when looking for higher timestamps we run into a corrupted update. Looking at the timestamps "0xcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcd" and referring to WT-6453, it seems to be accessing freed memory.
