Overview
Some users are facing this crash: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000000.
When inspecting crash dump, last stack trace in RNCNetInfo is RNCNetInfo.cpp:62
Root cause
These impacted users had LTE network adapter cards marked as
LteAdvanced | Custom
which isn't support by current RNCNetInfo implementation asdataClass
wasn't treated as an enum supporting flags.So
nullptr
was assigned tostd::optional<std::string>
and since the optional object is considered initialized when assigningnullptr
then when dereferencing the value, it led to null pointer exception.Fix
std::nullopt
instead ofnullptr
for unknown class types.switch
but use bitwise comparison to detect class typeCrash
Test Plan
Quickly reproed the crash then verified std::nullopt works.
We already applied this patch to our application and rolled it out to our users who validated the fix.
