CVE-2024-43900
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.

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