      <title>CVE-2023-53458 — media: cx23885: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug in buffer_prepare() and buffer_finish()</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53458</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;media: cx23885: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug in buffer_prepare() and buffer_finish()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the driver calls cx23885_risc_buffer() to prepare the buffer, the
function call dma_alloc_coherent may fail, resulting in a empty buffer
risc-&amp;gt;cpu. Later when we free the buffer or access the buffer, null ptr
deref is triggered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This bug is similar to the following one:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_stage.git/commit/?id=2b064d91440b33fba5b452f2d1b31f13ae911d71.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We believe the bug can be also dynamically triggered from user side.
Similarly, we fix this by checking the return value of cx23885_risc_buffer()
and the value of risc-&amp;gt;cpu before buffer free.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
