qmux_init() may fail for several reasons. In this case, connection resources are freed and underlying and a CONNECTION_CLOSE will be emitted via its quic_conn instance. In case of qmux_init() failure, qcc_release() is used to clean up resources, but QCC <conn> member is first resetted to NULL, as connection released must be delayed. Some cleanup operations are thus skipped, one of them is the resetting of <ctx> connection member to NULL. This may cause a crash as <ctx> is a dangling pointer after QCC release. One of the possible reproducer is to activate QMUX traces, which will cause a segfault on the qmux_init() error leave trace. To fix this, simply reset <ctx> to NULL manually on qmux_init() failure. This must be backported up to 3.0.
