** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
-  * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and
+ Under certain conditions, blkmapd can crash due to calling free() on a
+ pointer that wasn't malloc()ed. The reproducer went as far as isolating
+ it to having LVM Logical Volumes on SCSI disks, but the code flaw is
+ clear.
  
-  * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release.
+ The struct bl_serial *serial structure is allocated via
+ bl_create_scsi_string() which does a malloc for it, but the code later
+ on was doing a free() on the data element of this structure and only
+ then on the structure itself. That first free() is incorrect, as the
+ data element was never malloc()ed separatedly.
  
-  * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
-    explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.
+ This was first brought up by lixiaokeng via
+ https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg87598.html, but not
+ acknowledged back then. The patch selected for this SRU is slightly
+ simpler and more suited for an SRU.
