[PATCH 1/2] media: meson: vdec: clear stale prev_frame/cur_frame on flush

[Doruk Tan Ozturk]

codec_vp9_flush_output() (the .drain callback) walks ref_frames_list
and kfree()s every vp9_frame node, but never clears vp9->prev_frame
or vp9->cur_frame, which alias nodes that were just freed.

If decoding resumes after a flush with an inter (non-key) frame,
codec_vp9_process_frame() calls codec_vp9_set_mpred_mv(), which
dereferences vp9->prev_frame->{width,height,intra_only,show,type}
and feeds vp9->prev_frame to codec_vp9_get_frame_mv_paddr(). With
prev_frame still pointing at freed memory this is a use-after-free.

Clear both cached pointers once the list has been freed so a resumed
decode starts from a clean state.

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