Description Ashish Kumar 2017-10-04 09:23:42 UTC 
Possible memory leak is as below:-
File: 4xm.c : Line No. 117
Function: static int parse_vtrk(AVFormatContext *s,
                      FourxmDemuxContext *fourxm, uint8_t *buf, int size,
                      int left)

...
st = avformat_new_stream(s, NULL);

...

st not freed in case of failure i.e.

return AVERROR(ENOMEM);


Solution:-

av_free(st);

Thanks for the bug report, but this is something that should be submitted to the ffmpeg/libav projects. We don't patch our internal copy of ffmpeg.
