In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mali-c55: Fix possible ERR_PTR in enable_streams
The media_pad_remote_pad_unique() function returns either a valid
pointer or an ERR_PTR() on failure (-ENOTUNIQ if multiple links are
enabled, -ENOLINK if no connected pad is found). The return value
was assigned directly to isp->remote_src and dereferenced in the
next line without checking for errors, which could lead to an
ERR_PTR dereference.
Add proper error checking with IS_ERR() before dereferencing the
pointer. Also set isp->remote_src to NULL on error to maintain
consistency with other error paths in the function.
