has been resolved:\n\nmedia: xc2028: avoid use-after-free in load_firmware_cb()\n\nsyzkaller reported use-after-free in load_firmware_cb() [1].\nThe reason is because the module allocated a struct tuner in tuner_probe(),\nand then the module initialization failed, the struct tuner was released.\nA worker which created during module initialization accesses this struct\ntuner later, it caused use-after-free.\n\nThe process is as follows:\n\ntask-6504 worker_thread\ntuner_probe <= alloc dvb_frontend [2]\n...\nrequest_firmware_nowait <= create a worker\n...\ntuner_remove <= free dvb_frontend\n...\n request_firmware_work_func <= the firmware is ready\n load_firmware_cb <= but now the dvb_frontend has been freed\n\nTo fix the issue, check the dvd_frontend in load_firmware_cb(), if it is\nnull, report a warning and just return.\n\n[1]:\n ==================================================================\n BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in load_firmware_cb+0x1310/0x17a0\n Read of
