Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] It fixes SEGV in station_roam_scan_notify when performing repeated roam scans at legacy roaming after a failed FT-handover due to a ft_auth-/ft_reassoc-timeout. The issue occurs with all WLAN drivers. We have seen the issue with SIEMENS SCALANCE W700 AX APs, but it may also occur with other AP brands supporting FT-handover.

2026-07-08 19:55 [PATCH v2 1/2] It fixes a SEGV in eapol_rx_packets at receipt of EAPOL M1 msg at legacy roaming following a failed FT-handover due to a preceding ft_auth-/ft_reassoc-timeout. The issue only arises when using mwifiex / NXP 88W9098 driver for the client's WLAN module. We have seen the issue with SIEMENS SCALANCE W700 AX APs, but it may also occur with other AP brands supporting FT-handover Dierk Modrow
