Pending analysis

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
media: dvbdev: prevent the risk of out of memory access<br />
<br />
The dvbdev contains a static variable used to store dvb minors.<br />
<br />
The behavior of it depends if CONFIG_DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is set<br />
or not. When not set, dvb_register_device() won&#39;t check for<br />
boundaries, as it will rely that a previous call to<br />
dvb_register_adapter() would already be enforcing it.<br />
<br />
On a similar way, dvb_device_open() uses the assumption<br />
that the register functions already did the needed checks.<br />
<br />
This can be fragile if some device ends using different<br />
calls. This also generate warnings on static check analysers<br />
like Coverity.<br />
<br />
So, add explicit guards to prevent potential risk of OOM issues.
