[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Check return value of read in ff_rtsp_read_reply()

[Daniel Richard G.]

In the course of testing RTSP streaming of CCTV video via the FFmpeg
API, I have found some Valgrind uninitialized-memory errors due to what
appear to be short/failed reads in ffurl_read_complete().

The calling function ff_rtsp_read_reply() was not checking the return
value, and so the library went on to parse garbage in an
uninitialized heap-allocated buffer.

The attached patch adds logic to check the return value and bail
out on error.
