In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media:
pvrusb2: fix use after free on context disconnection Upon module load, a
kthread is created targeting the pvr2_context_thread_func function, which
may call pvr2_context_destroy and thus call kfree() on the context object.
However, that might happen before the usb hub_event handler is able to
notify the driver. This patch adds a sanity check before the invalid read
reported by syzbot, within the context disconnection call stack.
