[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] NULL-check Matroska chapters when reading header

[Justin Jacobs]

I have a Matroska file that contains a broken chapter (end time is before
start time) that caused any ffmpeg-linked program to crash when accessing
it. I've attached a patch that fixes the crash. Also, here is the backtrace
of the crash for reference:

(gdb) backtrace
