The memset call is made right after malloc call. To fix this, add the null check right after malloc and then do memset.

Did you read the section about how long lines should be in desc?

Looking at code, this bug happen in more places. Please fix up all locations.

I think this fix should go through the "bpf" tree.
Please read:
