[PATCH v3] media: meson: vdec: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in amvdec_add_ts()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In amvdec_add_ts(), there is a dereference of kzalloc(), which could lead
to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of kzalloc().

Fix this bug by adding a NULL check of new_ts.

This bug was found by a static analyzer[1].

Builds with CONFIG_VIDEO_MESON_VDEC=m show no new warnings,
and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

[1] The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent
security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and
confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the 
current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs.

Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.

Changes in v3:
  -  Change the description of patch
  -  Turn the return type from 'void' to 'int'
  -  Check the return value in the caller 'esparser_queue()'

Changes in v2:
  -  Delete dev_err() message
