From d5fdde1c426922efabe86a515f0782b3eba40577 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Rogers Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:23:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf ui hists: Fix uninitialized stack memory free on pstack allocation failure Fixes heap corruption by initializing the options and actions arrays before the pstack allocation check, preventing an uninitialized stack pointer from being passed to free_popup_options() if the allocation fails.
