In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in drm_vblank_destroy_worker()
drm_vblank_init() call drmm_add_action_or_reset() with
drm_vblank_init_release() as action. If __drmm_add_action() failed, will
directly call drm_vblank_init_release() with the vblank whose worker is
NULL. As the resule, a null-ptr-deref will happen in
kthread_destroy_worker(). Add the NULL check before calling
drm_vblank_destroy_worker().
BUG: null-ptr-deref
