CVE-2022-49827 Information

Description

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().
