If stats->names is NULL or stats->num_counters <= 0 we are jumping to the error path where the for loop is freeing hsag->attrs[i]. But as i is initialized to 0 so i >= 0 will be true and the loop will execute once trying to free hsag->attrs[0]. But hsag is NULL still now leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
