In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: vidtv: Fix a null-ptr-deref in vidtv_mux_stop_thread

syzbot report a null-ptr-deref in vidtv_mux_stop_thread. [1]

If dvb->mux is not initialized successfully by vidtv_mux_init() in the

vidtv_start_streaming(), it will trigger null pointer dereference about mux

in vidtv_mux_stop_thread().

Adjust the timing of streaming initialization and check it before

stopping it.
