Several arrays were read before checking whether the index was within
bounds. ARRAY_SIZE() should be used to determine the size of arrays.

rates->rates has an arraysize of 1, so calling get_common_rates()
with a rates_size of MAX_RATES (14) was causing reads out of bounds.

tmp_size can increment at most to (ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) - 1) *
(*rates_size - 1), so that should be the number of elements of tmp[].

A goto can be eliminated: ret was already set upon its declaration.

Of course. Please note the additional changes.

Hmm, not sure about this.  First I don't know if we need a 
variable for this at all. Can't you simply use ARRAY_SIZE() 
whenever it's needed?

If you want to keep num_card_rates, you should change it's 
type. "size_t" is normally used to denote sizes in bytes, e.g. 
it's the type for the length of malloc and friends. But now the 
variable holds a number of elements and should be int or 
unsigned int.

Since ratesize is at most MAX_RATES, tmp_size can increment at most
to MAX_RATES * ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates), so that should be the number
of elements of tmp[].
