I was curious if this is a real null pointer dereference issue?

CodeAi, an automated repair tool being developed at Qbit logic,
suggested an if-guard in libavformat/rtpdec.c on line 796 having seen
a path through the control flow where an array access from `buf`
results in a null pointer dereference. If `bufptr` is NULL, and `len`
>= 12, then `buf` is initialized to NULL and dereferenced on line 796.

     }

Could I submit this as a patch if it looks alright?

Thanks so much,

Zubin

In callers, we're assuming that (rtsp.c line 2158/2160) if len > 0, bufptr
!= NULL and thus buf != NULL. Likewise, len == 0 implies that bufptr ==
NULL and thus buf == NULL.
