The issue arises when user space sets an invalid ta type, resulting in an empty pointer context. To prevent dereferencing a null pointer, it is necessary to check the pointer context before using it.
Recommendations

As a temporary workaround, consider adding checks for the pointer context before using it to prevent dereferencing a null pointer.
