Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ffmpeg package and not the ffmpeg package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.12 relevant fixed versions and status.

libavcodec in FFmpeg 4.0 may trigger a NULL pointer dereference if the studio profile is incorrectly detected while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service, related to idctdsp.c and mpegvideo.c.
