Hi , I’m Lian Yihan ,a security researcher in Qihoo 360 Gear Team.

I found a vulnerability in ffmpeg <= 3.2. When ffmpeg decodes a small craft MOV file which is just a few megabits, it 
will allocate a huge memory(about a few gigabits) and then be killed by OS .

========================= target version ==========================

Ffmpeg 3.2

========================= target command =========================

Ffmpeg -i input.mov -y 1.ts

============================= key information ==========================

0x00000000007ae7b6 in avformat_find_stream_info (ic=0x2173290, options=0x7ffff7f74010) at libavformat/utils.c:3377
3377            avctx = st->internal->avctx;

(gdb) p ic->nb_streams
$3 = 26418
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Breakpoint 3, che_configure (ac=0x19ff1810, che_pos=AAC_CHANNEL_FRONT, type=1, id=0, channels=0x7fffffffd458) at 
libavcodec/aacdec_template.c:135
135                 if (!(ac->che[type][id] = av_mallocz(sizeof(ChannelElement))))                                      
                                // malloc a big memory on every loop.
(gdb) p sizeof(ChannelElement)
$4 = 547744

The total memory allocated is about 26418*547744 at last.
