media: vidtv: Terminating the subsequent process of initialization failure
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: vidtv: Terminating the subsequent process of initialization failure syzbot reported a slab-use-after-free Read in vidtv_mux_init. [1] After PSI initialization fails, the si member is accessed again, resulting in this uaf. After si initialization fails, the subsequent process needs to be exited.
