[FFmpeg-user] abort and missing SIGABRT handling

But if the abort() are reached, that's a bug, either in FFmpeg or in the
program that uses its libraries. Catching the signal is likely to make
things worse. Remember that these asserts may be the final barrier
against an exploitable bug.

The proper way of dealing with assert failure is to fix them.
