CVE-2019-15942
FFmpeg through 4.2 has a "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value" issue in h2645_parse because alloc_rbsp_buffer in libavcodec/h2645_parse.c mishandles rbsp_buffer.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.02%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
