[PATCH] memstick: ms_block: fix double free in msb_ftl_initialize() error path
From: Thomas Fourier
Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 04:24:56 EST
When one of the allocations in msb_ftl_initialize() fails, the function
frees msb->used_blocks_bitmap, msb->erased_blocks_bitmap and
msb->lba_to_pba_table but leaves the pointers set. The caller
msb_init_card() fails and both of its callers (msb_probe() and
msb_resume()) call msb_data_clear(), which frees the same three pointers
again.
Do not free them in msb_ftl_initialize().
This bug was found statically and is theoretical.
