Segfault in BlueZ 5.45

Segfault in BlueZ 5.45

[Mark Spruiell]

I built BlueZ 5.45 from source on Ubuntu 16.04 and ran the daemon in
the foreground with

$ sudo src/bluetoothd -d -n

I then ran a program that uses the ConnectProfile API to connect to
another device. It succeeds most of the time but occasionally crashes
with a segfault. Here is the stack trace:

The call to ConnectProfile is always to the same remote device
address, which is paired and trusted.

I tried it with BlueZ 5.44 and got a crash similar to this report:

Here is the stack trace from 5.44:

This problem has not occurred yet with BlueZ 5.43.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks,
