src can not be NULL. The doxy doesn't allow it.

Hi James,

User call av_hwframe_transfer_data like this:

av_hwframe_transfer_data(dst, NULL, 0);

It will crash when dst->buf[0] is null.
Because dst->buf[0] is null and src is null, it will call transfer_data_alloc, but 
the first line is ctx = (AVHWFramesContext*)src->hw_frames_ctx->data; in 
transfer_data_alloc,
It using src->hw_frames_ctx.

av_hwframe_transfer_data is av_*, it is API to user.
Maybe this is not logic problem, looks like a security problem.

I know what happens when you pass NULL as src argument. My point is that it's not a security problem because that's an API violation and an explicitly forbidden scenario: Neither src or dst can be NULL, and at least one of them must have an AVHWFramesContext attached. Any application not following that is faulty and buggy, and needs to be fixed.

And you can get crashes by passing NULL arguments to lots of public libav* functions, not just this one.


And if transfer_data_alloc() is called, it's because dst is "clean", and src must then 
have a hw_frames_ctx (The doxy explicitly states "At least one of dst/src must have an 
AVHWFramesContext attached").
