[PATCH v2] media: meson: vdec: fix use-after-free of in-use frames in codec_vp9_rm_noshow_frame()

[Doruk Tan Ozturk]

codec_vp9_rm_noshow_frame() frees the first non-shown reference frame on
ref_frames_list without excluding frames that are still in use. 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. Freeing a frame that
is still an active reference (codec_vp9_is_ref()) or the current frame
has the same in-use-then-free shape and additionally desyncs the
reference bookkeeping in codec_vp9_sync_ref().

The sibling cleanup codec_vp9_show_frame() already guards exactly these
cases before freeing:

	if (codec_vp9_is_ref(vp9, tmp) || tmp == vp9->prev_frame)
		continue;

rm_noshow_frame() simply omits the same check. Add it, also skipping
cur_frame, so both cleanup paths agree on which frames are safe to free.

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 0sec's autonomous vulnerability analysis (https://0sec.ai).
Found by static analysis; not yet runtime-reproduced (Amlogic Meson
hardware required).

v2: Per Dan Carpenter's review, also skip active reference frames
    (codec_vp9_is_ref()) and cur_frame, matching codec_vp9_show_frame()
    exactly — freeing an in-use altref/reference frame here also caused a
    codec_vp9_sync_ref() desync, not just the prev_frame UAF.
