Published: 5 July 2018

In libavcodec in FFmpeg 4.0.1, improper maintenance of the consistency between the context profile field and studio_profile in libavcodec may trigger an assertion failure while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service, related to error_resilience.c, h263dec.c, and mpeg4videodec.c.
