[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] d3dva security hw+threads

[Michael Niedermayer]

Hi all

Theres a use after free issue in H.264 Decoding on d3d11va with multiple threads
I dont have the hardware/platform nor do i know the hw decoding code so i made
no attempt to fix this beyond asking others to ...

There where 2 patches posted by the maintainer, neither really felt "right" and
also indepandently noone else applied either or approved either.

What is the preferred way of the community to handle this (and similar issues)?
ignore it and hope it will be handled by someone else ?
document it in release notes ?
disable the code ? (and which code)

And yes iam trying to be a bit annoying here, so this moves forward and
a fix or workaround can be in git master soon and then the next releases

Thanks
