[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 01/11] avformat/mux: Sanitize packets without data and side-data

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

The BSF API treats such packets as signalling EOF and therefore
such a packet might corrupt the BSF state. In such a case,
the guarantee that av_interleaved_write_frame() always frees
the packet is not upheld.

My first attempt was to disallow such packets, but the movenc test
explicitly used them (see signal_init_ts()), so there seems to be
a use for them.
