Title:
[network]: gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in
panel_get_strongest_unique_aps()
Status in GNOME Control Center:
Confirmed
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[Impact]
High impact: this causes gnome-control-center to be likely to crash in any
situation where a non-SSID-broadcasting AP is in range, when opening the
Network panel in gnome-control-center (System Settings).
[Development Fix]
Obvious simple and safe fix; avoid listing non-broadcasting APs, since their
SSID will be unavailable anyway. This is consistent with the behavior in
nm-applet. Patch in the upstream bug was developped in collaboration with the
upstream NetworkManager developers; see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672922.
[Stable Fix]
See "Development Fix".
[Test Case]
Open the Network panel; observe crash or lack of crash ;)
[Regression Potential]
Very low: non-SSID-broadcasting APs don't have an SSID name to speak of that
could be listed, precisely because it's not being broadcasted. :) Other
applications behave the same way and don't display an SSID for these type of
APs, requiring the user to connect to such a network manually.
