Segfault when trying to get info about the device with bt-device

[realszopen]

When I'm trying to get info about devices I get the following:

(bt-device:26340): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 14:25:58.566: g_dbus_proxy_call_sync_internal: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed

It happens on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

I'm also seeing this on Ubuntu 18.04. It only appears to happen on some Bluetooth devices. As I have a pair of headphones that I can get the device info about the command does not SegFault

I started observing this error in the last couple of weeks for my Sony WH-1000XM2 Wireless Bluetooth headphones. Strangely, there has not been any update to the headphones not bluez-tools that I'm aware of.

Same error message on Ubuntu 20.04. Some devices do return the information and some other devices make bt-device crash.

Debian 11 (sid) having the same issue using Broadcom 20702 adapter

The problem is that there is a NULL pointer dereference. I'll submit a pull request soon.

I just ran into this with Debian 12.5 (bookworm) though the line numbers are different:
