CVE-2023-53244

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: pci: tw68: Fix null-ptr-deref bug in buf prepare and finish

When the driver calls tw68_risc_buffer() to prepare the buffer, the
function call dma_alloc_coherent may fail, resulting in a empty buffer
buf->cpu. Later when we free the buffer or access the buffer, null ptr
deref is triggered.

This bug is similar to the following one:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_stage.git/commit/?id=2b064d91440b33fba5b452f2d1b31f13ae911d71.

We believe the bug can be also dynamically triggered from user side.
Similarly, we fix this by checking the return value of tw68_risc_buffer()
and the value of buf->cpu before buffer free.
