Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and application crash, via a crafted audio file. This is due to a problem in the
swri audio convert function in audioconvert.c.Recommendations
For FFmpeg libswresample versions prior to 3.0.102, update to version 3.0.102 or later to resolve the issue.
For FFmpeg versions prior to 3.4.2, update to version 3.4.2 or later to resolve the issue.

As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of crafted audio files that could trigger the denial of service until a patch is available.
