Subject: [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] examples: Replace with proper error handling to avoid potential memory errors
Date: Tue,  5 Aug 2025 18:56:09 +0000
Message-ID: <20250805185609.11596-1-jiashengjiangcool@gmail.com> (raw)

Add check for the return valud of av_packet_alloc() to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference.
Moreover, replace with proper error handling to avoid potential memory leak.

Fixes: 9a38184a14 ("examples/decode_audio: allocate the packet dynamically")
Fixes: f5df897c4b ("examples/avcodec: split audio decoding into a separate example")
