Subject: media: vidtv: fix NULL pointer dereference in vidtv_mux_push_si
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d8bf3d8f91073f4db347ed3aa6302b56107499c;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

media: vidtv: fix NULL pointer dereference in vidtv_mux_push_si

syzbot reported a general protection fault in
vidtv_psi_ts_psi_write_into [1].

vidtv_mux_get_pid_ctx() can return NULL, but vidtv_mux_push_si() does
not check for this before dereferencing the returned pointer to access
the continuity counter. This leads to a general protection fault when
accessing a near-NULL address.

The root cause is that vidtv_mux_pid_ctx_init() does not check the
return value of vidtv_mux_create_pid_ctx_once() for PMT section PIDs.
If the allocation fails, the PID context is never created, but init
returns success. The subsequent vidtv_mux_push_si() call then gets
NULL from vidtv_mux_get_pid_ctx() and crashes.

Fix both the root cause (add error check in vidtv_mux_pid_ctx_init
for PMT PIDs) and add defensive NULL checks in vidtv_mux_push_si for
all vidtv_mux_get_pid_ctx() calls.
