Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
media: cx88: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug in buffer_prepare()<br />
<br />
When the driver calls cx88_risc_buffer() to prepare the buffer, the<br />
function call may fail, resulting in a empty buffer and null-ptr-deref<br />
later in buffer_queue().<br />
<br />
The following log can reveal it:<br />
<br />
[ 41.822762] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI<br />

Fix this by checking the return value of cx88_risc_buffer()<br />
