    cced03dd667a5df6df8fd40d8de0bff477ee02e8 and later. (CVE-2018-1999010)

  - In FFmpeg 4.0.1, due to a missing check of a profile value before setting it, the
    ff_mpeg4_decode_picture_header function in libavcodec/mpeg4videodec.c may trigger a NULL pointer
    dereference while converting a crafted AVI file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-13301)

  - In FFmpeg 4.0.1, a missing check for failure of a call to init_get_bits8() in the avpriv_ac3_parse_header
    function in libavcodec/ac3_parser.c may trigger a NULL pointer dereference while converting a crafted AVI
    file to MPEG4, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-13303)

  - 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.
