Description Marcin Deranek 2020-06-18 08:51:29 UTC
When accessing some websites (eg. Google Calendar, Youtube) Chromium segfaults when using ffmpeg-4.3. Downgrading ffmpeg to 4.2.3 makes Chromium work correctly again.
Have a look at included web link to see more details.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install chromium-84.0.4147.45 and ffmpeg-4.3
2. Go to Google Calendar or play video on Youtube
Actual Results:  
Aw, Snap! message in Chromium appears.

Expected Results:  
Chromium should show webpage / play video.

This problem seems to be related to "av_max_alloc(0)".

this patch helps.

probably patching is better than restricting ffmpeg version.

Patch is wrong for USE=-system-ffmpeg and stable is still affected.

hmm, would it not be a good idea to undo the change in ffmpeg-4.3 which requires
this patch to apps?

ffmpeg-4.3 should be ABI compatible with previous ffmpegs
