NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mplayer package and not the mplayer package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
