Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
media: chips-media: wave5: Move src_buf Removal to finish_encode<br />
<br />
During encoder processing, there is a case where the IRQ response could<br />
return the buffer back to userspace via v4l2_m2m_buf_done call. In this<br />
time, userspace could queue up this same buffer before start_encode removes<br />
the index from the ready queue. This would then lead to a case where the<br />
buffer in the ready queue could be a self loop due to the<br />
WRITE_ONCE(prev->next, new) call in __list_add.<br />
<br />
When __list_del is finally called, the loop is already made so nothing<br />
points back to ready queue list head and pointers are poisoned.<br />
<br />
A buffer should not be marked as DONE before the buffer is removed from<br />
m2m ready queue. Move removal entirely to finish_encode.
