I am suffering from this bug in 21.02, so please cherry pick for 21.02 an 22.03 branches as well!
Note I am currently using usteer, so yes usteer triggers this as well
When a BSS Transition Management response is received by hostapd, that is NOT the WNM_BSS_TM_ACCEPT status, the bss target variable remains uninitialized and causes the ubus message marshaling to access invalid memory, which results in a segfault. This is reported by the kernel like so:
hostapd
terminates, and brings the WiFi down which is highly disruptive to all devices connected on WiFi.This is only seen when a band steering service is running, because it is a response to their operation. I have seen it with
dawn
and I believeusteer
will also trigger this segfault if it uses these messages.
