In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in drmvblankdestroy_worker()
drmvblankinit() call drmmaddactionorreset() with drmvblankinitrelease() as action. If _drmmaddaction() failed, will directly call drmvblankinitrelease() with the vblank whose worker is NULL. As the resule, a null-ptr-deref will happen in kthreaddestroyworker(). Add the NULL check before calling drmvblankdestroyworker().
