Thi may happen if
read()
gets called repeatedly (such as inHttpClient
to parse response headers) and the connection is closed unexpectedly or the remote peer may have unexpected behavior that causes the underlying socket to report an error. In that caseread()
itself callsstop()
, which invalidates the receive buffer object. Then whenread()
is called again without checking, such as insidereadStringUntil()
, the_rxBuffer
is null and ESP32 crashes.See also #3659
