> ncm_bind() allocates an OS descriptor table only when
> cdev->use_os_string is enabled. However, ncm_unbind() frees the
> table and resets f->os_desc_n without clearing f->os_desc_table,
> leaving a dangling pointer.
>
> When a ConfigFS gadget is unbound, the function object can be reused
> for a subsequent bind. The OS descriptor support can be toggled
> through the ConfigFS os_desc/use attribute, which determines
> cdev->use_os_string on the next bind. If this flag changes from true
> to false between binds, ncm_bind() skips the allocation and leaves
> f->os_desc_table pointing to the previously freed memory.
>
> A subsequent unbind may therefore free the stale pointer again,
> resulting in a double-free.
>
> Set f->os_desc_table to NULL after freeing it to prevent the stale
> pointer from being reused across bind/unbind cycles.
