SUSE: CVE-2024-35921: SUSE Linux Security Advisory

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

media: mediatek: vcodec: Fix oops when HEVC init fails

The stateless HEVC decoder saves the instance pointer in the context
regardless if the initialization worked or not. This caused a use after
free, when the pointer is freed in case of a failure in the deinit
function.
Only store the instance pointer when the initialization was successful,
to solve this issue.
