Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] eapol.c: Fix SEGV in eapol_rx_packets at receipt of EAPOL M1 msg
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 00:20:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708222056.273-1-dierk.modrow@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Dierk Modrow <dierk.modrow@sew-eurodrive.de>
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.
