Subject: CVE-2024-43900: media: xc2028: avoid use-after-free in load_firmware_cb()

Description
===========

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.

[2]
    Actually, it is allocated for struct tuner, and dvb_frontend is inside.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-43900 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
