[PATCH] media: meson: vdec: fix use-after-free of prev_frame in codec_vp9_rm_noshow_frame()

Message-ID <[email protected]>
codec_vp9_rm_noshow_frame() frees the first non-shown reference frame on
ref_frames_list without excluding vp9->prev_frame. When the previously
decoded frame was a non-show (alt-ref) frame and the current frame is a
non-show inter frame, the freed object is the one vp9->prev_frame still
points to; codec_vp9_set_mpred_mv() then dereferences the stale pointer
(use_prev_frame_mvs and codec_vp9_get_frame_mv_paddr()), a use-after-free.

The sibling cleanup codec_vp9_show_frame() already guards this pointer
(tmp == vp9->prev_frame); rm_noshow_frame() simply omits the same check.
Add it.

The fields that drive this path (show_frame, frame_type, intra_only) are
parsed from the VP9 bitstream, so a crafted stream fed to the stateless
decoder can trigger the free-then-use.

Found by static analysis; not yet runtime-reproduced (Amlogic Meson
hardware required).

Found by 0sec's autonomous vulnerability analysis (https://0sec.ai).
