In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: xc2028: avoid use-after-free in load_firmware_cb()
syzkaller reported use-after-free in load_firmware_cb() 1. The reason is because the module allocated a struct tuner in tuner_probe(), and then the module initialization failed, the struct tuner was released. A worker which created during module initialization accesses this struct tuner later, it caused use-after-free.
The process is as follows:
task-6504 worker_thread tuner_probe <= alloc dvb_frontend [2] ... request_firmware_nowait <= create a worker ... tuner_remove <= free dvb_frontend ... request_firmware_work_func <= the firmware is ready load_firmware_cb <= but now the dvb_frontend has been freed
To fix the issue, check the dvd_frontend in load_firmware_cb(), if it is null, report a warning and just return.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in load_firmware_cb+0x1310/0x17a0 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8000d7ca2308 by task kworker/2:3/6504
[2] Actually, it is allocated for struct tuner, and dvb_frontend is inside.
